Comparison of Computed Specific Absorption Rate Induced in a Homogeneous Human Body Phantom Using a Wearable Textile Antenna for Biomedical Applications

This paper gives a study and comparison of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) induced in a homogeneous phantom using wearable textile antennas with and without body-antenna isolation. A planar monopole antenna intended to operate in industrial, scientific and medical 2.45 GHz band is taken as an example for the investigation. The 1- and 10-g peak SAR and SAR distributions of wearable antennas on the phantom in different observation planes are presented to study human safety.
