Wearable Wideband Printed Monopole Antenna System for Electromagnetic Field Estimation

Abstract

An antenna system based on a wideband printed monopole is proposed for the estimation of electromagnetic field radiation in the frequency range 0.7-3.5 GHz. Such system is envisaged to be integrated into protective vests worn by professional users in their working space environment as part of an intelligent multi-risk protection. Four dual-linearly polarized monopoles are integrated into the coat (chest, back, left and right shoulders) and an extra one in the helmet. Numerical simulation results, for the antenna system integrated into a simplified phantom model of the human torso and head indicate that the proposed solution can provide the required electromagnetic field evaluation.
