Abstract :
In this paper, antennas for wireless body area network applications are introduced. An epsilon negative zeroth-order resonance antenna and a compact planar inverted-F antenna for implantable biomedical services at the MICS band are proposed. Diversity antennas for on-body applications such as wireless headset at the ISM band are also proposed.
