Investigation of a Wearable Textile Monopole Antenna on Specific Absorption Rate at 2.45 GHz
This paper discusses the investigation of a wearable
textile monopole antenna on specific absorption rate (SAR) for bodycentric
wireless communication applications at 2.45 GHz. The
antenna is characterized on a realistic 8 x 8 x 8 mm3 resolution
truncated Hugo body model in CST Microwave Studio software. The
result exhibited that the simulated SAR values were reduced
significantly by 83.5% as the position of textile monopole was
varying between 0 mm and 15 mm away from the human upper arm.
A power absorption reduction of 52.2% was also noticed as the
distance of textile monopole increased.
