TY - BOOK AU - Douglas H.Werner AU - Zhi Hao Jiang TI - Electromagnetics of body-area networks: antennas, propagation, and RF systems SN - 9781119029465 AV - TK5103.35 U1 - 621.382 PY - 2016/// CY - New Jersey PB - John Wiley & Sons KW - Body area networks (Electronics) KW - Electromagnetism KW - Electromagnetic theory N1 - Includes index; Includes bibliographical references N2 - The book is a comprehensive treatment of the field, covering fundamental theoretical principles and new technological advancements, state-of-the-art device design, and reviewing examples encompassing a wide range of related sub-areas. In particular, the first area focuses on the recent development of novel wearable and implantable antenna concepts and designs including metamaterial-based wearable antennas, microwave circuit integrated wearable filtering antennas, and textile and/or fabric material enabled wearable antennas. The second set of topics covers advanced wireless propagation and the associated statistical models for on-body, in-body, and off-body modes. Other sub-areas such as efficient numerical human body modeling techniques, artificial phantom synthesis and fabrication, as well as low-power RF integrated circuits and related sensor technology are also discussed. These topics have been carefully selected for their transformational impact on the next generation of body-area network systems and beyond ER -
