This conformal system enables effective and continuous patient monitoring when combined with one or more health sensors, as information about the subject's health condition is received adaptively to guarantee link reliability. This operation is facilitated by a receiver front-end and a digital baseband beamforming network, which enables scalability and flexibility. The proposed SWTAS also features flexible antenna arrays made using textiles, which are arbitrarily located on a cylindrically shaped body phantom to ensure wide spatial DoA estimation capability. Besides being designed to suit on-body placement, the system performance is also characterized for on-body usage using a commercial body-emulating liquid, and placed at a realistic distance from the body, considering user clothing. Investigation indicated a good performance in the system's 80° forward plane with a DoA accuracy of 3°. Finally, a practical evaluation is presented using two transmitters placed at distinct locations and distances. The system successfully estimated both DoAs and received the telemetry signals using beamforming. 2014-06-16T08:45:08Z 2014-06-16T08:45:08Z 2013 Article IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, vol. 61(5), 2013, pages 2253-2261 0018-9480 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/abstractAuthors.jsp?arnumber=6471267 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35578 en Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
