“…In recent years, several high performance wide-slot circularly polarized antennas have been proposed [6], [7]. A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed antenna features wide impedance and axial ratio bandwidths that are essential to body-worn textile antenna applications as it has higher tolerance to different conditions on a human body.…”

A wearable rectenna for operation in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band is presented. The proposed device consists of a compact patch antenna and a full-wave bridge rectifier, both fabricated with textile materials. The patch antenna has been realized by using an adhesive conductive fabric on a bi-layer substrate made of pile and jeans. As for the rectifier, it is on a layer of jeans on the back-face of the antenna. Experimental data referring both to the patch antenna and to the rectenna are reported and discussed. From measurements performed with an incident power density of 14 W/cm , it is demonstrated that the rectenna here presented exhibits a conversion efficiency higher than 20% over the frequency range 860-918 MHz with a maximum of about 50% at 876 MHz.

“…In recent years [6] presented electric field modeling of body-centric antennas at UHF frequencies which highlighted the human body is an integral part of the radiating structure. [7] believes that human bodies within the radio channel are part of the environment, because their presence causes variations in the indoor radio channel environment.…”
