Low-Visibility Antennas for Communication Systems

The communication and biomedical industries have been in continuous growth the last few years. Low-visibility compact antennas have attractive features such as being low-profile, flexible, lightweight, small volume, and low production cost. This book provides guidelines to develop these antennas. Wearable and hidden antennas are presented in the literature as low-visibility antennas. A model to compute the antenna parameters in the antenna environment is demonstrated. This model may be employed to design wearable and hidden antennas. Computed and measured antenna electrical parameters will be presented.
