Abstract :
In this paper, a multioctave broadband vest antenna based on the SMM antenna technology has been developed. The brassboard model exhibits considerably better performance, and much less radiation hazard, than previous vest antennas. It has major advantages over the whip antenna: much wider bandwidth, invisible, safer, and more stable connectivity
