Summary:
Wearable antennas have been intensively investigated in the recent years. This paper presents one patch antenna rotating along two axes when in proximity to a phantom with similar electrical properties to the human body. The antenna performance at several different contact angles is reported. Measurements in both anechoic and reverberation chambers yield good agreement with simulations.
