摘要
The paper describes the development of a flexible wearable antenna used in military and police work. The design is based on numerical simulations using commercial software. Simulations taking into account the curved-surface profile of the antenna and differently-sized human bodies are presented. Experimentally obtained return loss and radiation patterns are shown in comparison with the computed results. Measured return loss better than 7 dB has been achieved across the frequency band of 360-460 MHz. The superiority of the antenna with respect to conventionally used antennas in the above-mentioned applications is demonstrated.
