Course detail
Near and on Body Communications
FEKT-MPA-KBCAcad. year: 2023/2024
In lectures, representation of living tissues by numerical phantoms is discussed, and electromagnetic wave propagation along the hunam body is explained. Next, lectures present the design of antennas for operation in proximity of a body, and their integration to textile substrates. Finally, wireless connection of sensors of vital functions is built, and the whole wireless network is optimized.
