Abstract: In this paper, a linearly polarized U-slot half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) antenna for off-body communication is presented. It is based on a combination of a U– shaped slot etched in the HMSIW top wall and two shorts placed in this slot. The antenna operates at 5.8 GHz. In order to verify performance of the proposed antenna placed in the proximity of a human body, a three-layer phantom of the human body – a chest model – is used. The antenna placed in proximity of the phantom of the human body achieves simulated impedance bandwidth of 2.02 % and the gain of 7.23 dBi.
Keywords: Half–mode substrate integrated waveguide; human body model; slot antenna
