This paper presents a printed antenna with a full ground plane and electromagnetically coupled feed for body area network devices operating in industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band at 2.45 GHz. Performance characteristics along with parametric analysis are presented. Specific absorption rate (SAR) analysis is carried out to investigate its performance for body centric wireless communication. The electromagneticallycoupled feed used is tuned to fill a null in the radiation pattern and to achieve impedance matching. The proposed antenna exhibits wide radiation pattern along the body surface to provide maximum coverage and its narrow width (14mm) makes it suitable for on-body applications.

This paper presents a stub-loaded printed antenna with a full ground plane and electromagnetically coupled feed for body area network devices operating in industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band at 2.45 GHz. Performance and characteristics are presented along with parametric analyses. Antenna performance is investigated under bending to check its suitability for conformal body centric wireless communication devices. The electromagnetically-coupled feed is tuned to fill a null in the radiation pattern and to achieve impedance matching, which is further fine tuned by stub loading. The proposed antenna exhibits a wide radiation pattern along the body surface to provide maximum coverage and its narrow physical width (14mm) makes it suitable for on-body applications.

Comenzaré agradeciendo a mis padres y a mi hermana su apoyo incondicional a lo largo de mi vida, y en especial durante esta etapa de mis estudios de doctorado. Gracias por estar en los momentos buenos y en los no tan buenos, gracias por vuestras palabras dé animo y alegraros de cada uno de mis logros personales.Agradecer también a otro de mis apoyos fundamentales durante esta etapa, mis compañeros y amigos, con los que tantos buenos momentos he compartido, entre ellos nuestros coffees diarios que tanto voy a echar de menos. Pablo, gracias por tus consejos y paciencia. Lore, siempre dispuesta a escuchar y ayudar, gracias. Iratxe, no sólo compartiste conmigo la primera etapa de mis estudios en la que fuiste un gran apoyo, sino también nuestras clases de zumba o nuestras meriendas dulces. Porúltimo, pero no menos importantes, mis compañeros de despacho y de comidas diarias, especialmente Juan Carlos, Alberto y Borja.Durante mi estancia en Chile, agradecer a todos por el trato excepcional que me dieron, pero especialmente a Manolo al que aprecio mucho y con el que lo pasé genial. Gracias por hacerme ver que es posible seguir viendo la parte positiva de las cosas aunque no siempre sea fácil.A Eva, por su disposicíon para ayudarme con el diseño de antenas, así como sus palabras deánimo y consejos cuando las cosas no parecían fáciles.Quizás me olvido de mencionar a mucha gente,Ángel, Jesús, Aarón, ... personas de distintos lugares que siempre han estado ahí y que de alguna manera, también me han apoyado durante esta etapa.Finalmente, a mi tutora, Mati, tengo que agradecerle su paciencia, apoyo y comprensión durante estos años, así como todas las oportunidades que me ha dado, entre ellas participar en proyectos de investigación enriquecedores, así como realizar estancias internacionales que puedo decir que me han enriquecido mucho como persona.
