Design of compact wearable antennas by using printed electronics

The need of compact and conformal antennas that can be employed also in a wearable outfit or gadget is of great interest for massive market, consumer electronic and the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm. Enabling technologies such as printed electronic can be extremely beneficial in this scenario but innovative designs are necessary to face the extreme challenges posed by such a complicate radiating environment.
