Impulse radio UWB

In 2014, Zaric et al. [39] proposed a wearable UWB antenna with a very compact profile unidirectional radiation pattern and high-fidelity performance, for operation in the EU UWB band ([6, 8.5] GHz). The antenna is suitable for impulse radio UWB application (IR-UWB) for accurate localization of human subjects. The proposed stmcture, displayed in Fig. 26.12 is, strictly speaking, nontextile. However, its very compact dimensions and low profile, as well as its high resilience to human body proximity, make it a wearable antenna. In future implementations, actual rigid materials could easily be replaced by electrotextiles and wearable dielectrics. The antenna...
