The first analytical model of Body Area Network channels is presented. The formulation
includes the body morphology and the characteristics of the human tissues. The studied …

A reconfigurable parasitic patch array is designed to provide polarization and pattern
diversities. The performance of the device is predicted using a commercial simulator including a …

The goal of this paper is to study the feasibility of making intelligent antenna selection decision
in IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This study provides us the basis to …

The aim of this paper is to propose a statistical analysis of the performance of an RFID system
in a high-density context, based on a physical model which takes into account the mutual …

A miniaturized diversity antenna dedicated to wireless body area network (WBAN)
applications is described. The combination of a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) and a top-loaded …

Electromagnetic coupling between randomly distributed dipole antennas is analyzed
statistically. The impedance matrix of a set of dipoles is first calculated with both the induced …

In UHF RFID (radio frequency identification), passive tag antennas can be fixed on boxes or
recipients where the nature and contents might vary. These variations strongly affect the …

Wearable antennas are an integral part of body area networks (BAN). Antenna design for
BAN applications is a challenging task since the antennas have to be small, efficient and must …

Reduction of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) has now become a buzz word due to the
growing health concerns over microwave exposure. Ferrites are found to be effective in …

We plan to design and implement software defined intelligent antenna switching capability
to wireless sensor nodes based on link quality metric, such as Received Signal Strength …
