Abstract

An electrically small and thin parasitic array is proposed for use in a wireless electrocardiograph system. Top loading and conformal element spacing allows the antenna to achieve an electrical size, kr, of 0.8. T-matching is used to counteract the drop in radiation resistance due to 0.02 spacing between the driver and director. The two-element array achieves a peak realized gain of 5.1 dBi in the forward direction, with a front-to-back ratio of 14.3 dB. The simulated antenna is shown to produce a steady gain greater than 4 dBi when located at a distance greater than 4 mm away from human muscle tissue.
