Abstract

In this paper, the study of shell and body tissue simulating liquid (BTSL) effects on compact peanut-shape antenna performance that operate at frequency 2.45 GHz are presented. Two simulation setups which consist of eight different types of simulation were used in the simulation process. Reflection coefficient, bandwidth, radiation pattern and directivity in those simulation setups are determined and compared. The influence of human tissue on the antenna behavior must be considered.
