Abstract
This contribution discusses the application of 3D Molded Interconnect Devices Technology (MID) for a wearable antenna system shaped to fit on the human body. The proposed system consists of two antennas, both operating in the 2.4 GHz band used for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) according to IEEE standard 802.15.6. One antenna is designed to excite a strong Norton surface wave component for on-body communication, while a second antenna is intended to generate a space wave to support an off-body radio link. As both antennas operate at the same frequency, the system is designed to provide a mutual coupling of less than -25 dB. The final design is integrated into a generic 3D housing to be worn on a humans wrist.
