Abstract :
In this paper, we investigate the performance of two dual-band printed CPW-fed antennas, which have C-shaped and T-shaped geometrical shapes, for wireless body-worn applications. The simulated results in reflection coefficient, radiation characteristics and specific absorption rate (SAR) are presented.
