Focuses on research and development of electromagnetic considerations for body-area networks including antennas and propagation, as well as relevant RF radio circuit and sensor technologies The book is a comprehensive treatment of the field, covering fundamental theoretical principles and new technological advancements, state-of-the-art device design, and reviewing examples encompassing a wide range of related sub-areas. In particular, the first area focuses on the recent development of novel wearable and implantable antenna concepts and designs including metamaterial-based wearable antennas, microwave circuit integrated wearable filtering antennas, and textile and/or fabric material enabled wearable and implantable antennas. The second set of topics covers advanced wireless propagation and the associated statistical models for on-body, in-body, and off-body modes. Other sub-areas such as efficient numerical human body modeling techniques, artificial phantom synthesis and fabrication, as well as low-power RF integrated circuits and related sensor technology are also discussed. These topics have been carefully selected for their transformational impact on the next generation of body-area network systems and beyond. Each chapter is written by an internationally recognized author or group of authors covering the latest research results. In addition, this book: * Covers the research and development of electromagnetic considerations for body-area networks including antennas and propagation, as well as relevant RF radio circuit and sensor technologies * Discusses the emerging flexible materials and fabrication methodologies and their role in enabling new technologies for wearable and implantable devices * Introduces advanced wireless propagation and the associated statistical models for on-body, in-body, and off-body modes Electromagnetics of Body Area Networks: Antennas, Propagation, and RF Systems is written for graduate students, researchers, and industrial engineers in wireless communications, RF/antenna engineering, healthcare, and medical electronics.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
