Summary:
In the paper, a small antenna for 2.4 GHz body-centric wireless communications is proposed. With the folded ground and U-shaped slot, the antenna has an improved efficiency of 56.5% when it is very close to human body. In addition, the antenna has attractive radiation patterns for body-centric wireless communications.
