Recent advances of wearable antennas in materials, fabrication methods, designs, and their applications: State-of-the-art

The demand for wearable technologies has grown tremendously in recent years. Wearable antennas are used for various applications, in many cases within the context of wireless body area networks (WBAN). In WBAN, the presence of the human body poses a significant challenge to the wearable antennas. Sp...
