The antenna is fabricated and tested over human hand. Due to the characteristic radiation pattern of the antenna at two operating frequencies, the antenna is found to be least coupled with the human body and thereby a low specific absorption rate (SAR) value of 0.21 W/Kg and 1.21 W/kg at two resonant frequencies. The simulation results were found to be in good agreement with the measurement results.","PeriodicalId":397541,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Applied Electromagnetics Conference (AEMC)","volume":"405 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124358049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
