Abstract

The remote monitoring healthcare systems have tended to the advent of wearable antennas. To ensure that this monitoring should not make any effect on one’s regular habits, the elements (i.e. antenna and sensor) should be embedded in clothes. Wearable antennas work in close proximity to human body. Since there is coupling of antenna radiations with human body tissues, the antenna performance parameters are affected. The performance of ultra-wideband (UWB) wearable antennas with various ground plane configurations such as partial ground plane, CPW-fed ground plane and full ground plane has been reviewed in this work. Moreover, this work also mentions the complexity and advantages related to antennas having full ground plane.
