In this study, the diversity performance of microstrip patch antennas mounted on the chest and the back of a person is investigated in static and dynamic indoor environments at ISM (2.4-2.5 GHz) and medical body area network (2.36-2.4 GHz) bands. Power received by the radios worn by the person while standing and walking is recorded and compared. In addition, antennas are simulated on a human body to study the effect of the human body. The work was done as part of a remote patient monitoring project, and hence the effectiveness of the antenna diversity in the indoor data communications and the impact of the human body on the quality of the communication linked were studied as well.

This study proposes three microstrip line fed circular monopole antennas with ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics, improved omnidirectional radiation pattern and WLAN (5 GHz-6 GHz) band notched characteristics for wireless and mobile communication systems. In this thesis, first, a microstrip line fed ultra-wideband ring monopole antenna with improved omnidirectional radiation pattern is designed, fabricated and measured. Two corners are tapered on the ground plane for increasing impedance bandwidth. In ord...
Design of a dual polarized low profile antenna for microwave brain imaging
Üçel, Kaan; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-9)
In this thesis, a low profile, low cost, wide band (0.9-2GHz) dual linearly polarized printed dipole antenna is designed to be used in microwave brain imaging systems. Dual polarization feature offers superior data acquisition through polarization diversity for better image quality. Starting from a simple printed dipole, antenna structure is modified step by step to meet these design requirements. Since a conductive surface in close vicinity of the antenna affects antenna performance, in order to obtain uni...
