“…The main characteristic of the AMC [16] may increase the antenna's performance in terms of reflection coofecient, propogation and radiation pattern. Previous researchers have proved that the 1514 used of the structure reduced the unwanted radiation and increased the antenna's performance [17], [18]. Sheet-like waveguide sheet is proposed [19]- [25] if the antenna is positioned near the human body.…”

This paper presents the propagation of dual-band diamond dipole antenna on three various jackets. The jackets are purely fleece fabric with Shieldit fabric patches on top of it. The network analyzers with the flexible lossless coaxial cable are used to measure the communication of the antennas. The experiment involves a man with ideal body mass index (BMI) wearing the jackets by placing the flexible antennas on top of it. It is observed that the best on-body communication is by wearing the engineered jacket. The 10 dB improvements are observed when the antenna is positioned on top of engineered jacket contrast to the regular jacket. In other words, the performance of the antenna is also be determined by antenna placement. High transmission lossesses cause the antenna mismatch when the antennas are positioned above the full conductive jacket.

“…Theoritycally, the main characteristic of an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) to influence the propagation electromacnetic waves is in-phase reflection coeficient [7]. Previous researchers have presented that the AMC may reduce the backward radiation and improve the gain of the antenna [8]- [9]. Then, sheetlike waveguide sheet is proposed by [10]- [13], 16] to reduce the distortion from the human body.…”

This paper presents the investigation of on-body transmission single-band diamond dipole antenna with three different jackets. The jackets are named as normal jacket, grounding jacket and waveguide jacket. The on-body transmission is measured using two flexible single-band antennas attach to the jackets. A man with the height of 180 cm and 75 kg weight becomes as a model for the real measurement. The measurement is conducted in small space area by using portable network analyzer with flexible network cable. The measurement results show that the best performance for on-body transmission is with waveguide jacket. 10 dB transmission improvement is archived when the antenna is placed above the waveguide jacket compared to the normal jacket. It is found that the transmission of the antenna is also depends on the antenna orientation and further transmission lossess occur when the antennas are placed above the grounding jacket.
