  • Abstract
    In this paper the performance and the applicability of different UWB antenna concepts for the detection and the monitoring of water accumulation in the human bodies are investigated. Through a theoretical analysis and measurement results, requirements are derived on UWB antennas time domain behaviour and time domain parameters in order to be usable for this purpose.
