title = "Compact low-profile antenna for wireless medical vital sign monitors at 868 MHz",
abstract = "A low-profile wearable antenna suitable for integration into low-cost, disposable medical vital signs monitors is presented. Simulated and measured antenna performance was characterized on a layered human tissue phantom, representative of the thorax region of a range of human bodies. The wearable antenna has sufficient bandwidth for the 868 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical frequency band. Wearable radiation efficiency of up to 30 \% is reported when mounted in close proximity to the novel human tissue phantom antenna test-bed at 868 MHz.",
