Flexible circularly polarized antenna with axial ratio bandwidth enhancement for off‐body communications

Abstract A flexible circularly polarized (CP) wearable antenna is proposed for a wireless body area network at the 5.8‐GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band. The proposed antenna is made of flexible polyimide and foam material. The CP radiation is enabled by loading two pairs of shorting pins...
