Abstract
An antenna for a body-centric wireless communication system comprises first and second radiating structures between which is located a ground plane and a feed structure. The feed structure comprises a feed line extending between the first radiating structure and the ground plane, and a slot formed in the ground plane. A pair of shorting posts connects the first radiating structure to the ground plane. The antenna is capable of simultaneously generating in-body radiation, on-body radiation and off-body radiation in the same frequency band.
