Abstract

This letter proposes a very simple solution to reduce the propagation loss between two antennas/sensors on body at 2.45 GHz by utilizing a flexible conductive strip line (CSL). The performance of the CSL is comparable to that of the free-access transmission line in the work by Tran et al. in some certain cases. The transmission improvement by the CSL is verified by measurement results on a perfect electrical conductor plane, on a phantom, and on a real body more than 20 dB for non-line-of-sight scenarios. Dimension parameters of the CSL are optimized so that the highest improvement by the CSL can be achieved and it is easy to be integrated into clothes. Moreover, the specific absorption rate is satisfied when the CSL is deployed near body.
