Abstract
In this paper an optimized UWB antenna structure is presented, which is suitable for radiation in the human body. The antenna has been characterized both in the frequency domain and in the time domain, investigating also the impact of the human body frequency-dependent characteristics on the signal transmitted by the antenna into the body. Parameters have been introduced to characterize the antenna behavior in the near-field.
