Compact planar wearable ultra wideband antenna for on-body applications

The increasing growth in using body area networks (BANs), wireless personal area networks (WPANs), and medical sensors has given an interest in wearable antennas that are made for operation on the living bodies. Engineers have not stopped at creating a remarkable technology such as wearable syste...
