Wearable biomonitoring monopole antennas using inkjet printed electromagnetic band gap structures

In this paper, a monopole antenna with a novel nanotechnology-enabled inkjet printed electromagnetic band gap structure (EBG) is introduced for wearable biomonitoring applications with minimal “on-body” performance degradation. The proposed antenna is very thin and flexible since it can be easily fabricated with direct inkjet-printing on commercially available plastic or photo paper, potentially enabling wearable wireless sensing modules with improved communication range.
