Abstract :
In recent years, antennas and propagation for body-centric wireless communications have become an active area of research because of their various applications. Currently, there have been few reports in terms of operation mechanism and optimization of electrodes. In this study, we have numerically conducted some parameter studies to understand fundamental characteristics of the electrodes.
