Broadband Low-Loss On-Body UHF to Millimeter-Wave Surface Wave Links Using Flexible Textile Single Wire Transmission Lines
On-body transmission represents a challenge due to human body shadowing.This paper proposes a Sommerfeld-Goubau single-wire transmission line (SWTL) implemented using electronic textiles for low-loss on-body the gel bottle audrey links up to millimeter-wave frequencies, overcoming the spherical spreading loss and on-body absorption.The SWTL is fabr
