  • Abstract
    This article consists of a collection of slides from the author´s conference presentation. Some of the specific areas/topics discussed include: demonstrated use of band gap materials to give surface wave propagation; switchable EBGs giving on/off body communication; improve surface wave mode for full EBG; and reduce size using miniaturised EBG elements.
