Abstract(in English) This paper presents two applications of the free access mat, which is a sheet-shaped waveguide which limits the coverage area of radio signals, namely contactless power transfer and wearable waveguide for body-centric wireless communications. The free access mat has a number of favorable features for these applications: small transmission loss by the strongly concentrated EM wave within itself, easy excitation by typical antennas emplaced arbitrarily with no contact point, and lack of interference over a small accessible range. These features enable safe and efficient wireless power transfer for short distances and subsidiary waveguide for on-body channel distortion due to the presence of the human body. This paper presents novel concepts, designs and transmission characteristics of a contactless power supply rail and smart suit.
