Textile SIW Rectangular Ring-slot Antennas for Off-body Communication
Vašina, Petr
In this paper, a textile SIW rectangular ring-slot antenna for the ISM frequency band 5.8 GHz is proposed. The antenna radiates a linearly polarized wave with the maximum radiation in the perpendicular direction to the antenna plane. The antenna is fabricated on the soft-shell fabric in the two versions. In the first version, the conductive layers were fabricated by a self-adhesive copper foil. In the second version, the conductive layers were fabricated by the screen printing on a foil ironed on the soft-shell fabric. Experimental results prove that the proposed antenna fabricated by copper foil achieves the impedance bandwidth of 3.1 % for the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB and the gain of 6.91 dBi. While screen printing antenna achieves the impedance bandwidth of 2.93 % for the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB and the gain of 7 dBi, respectively.

H-plane SIW Howrn Antenna for On-body Communication
Cupal, Miroslav
The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology allows us to construct several types of low-profile antennas. One of these antennas is h-plane SIW horn antenna. However, this antenna shows constraints if thickness of the substrate is smaller than λ/10. A modified h-plane horn antenna to be used close to human body tissue is presented in this paper. Attention is paid to the decrease of the elevation angle of the main beam in E-plane. The antenna has been developed for wireless links of on body communication.

Radiation efficiency measurements of dielectric resonator antennas using Wheeler method
Sedler, David ; Mikulášek, Tomáš (referee) ; Mrnka, Michal (advisor)
Bachelor thesis discusses the dielectric resonators as antenna elements. This work includes description field rectangular resonators, possible dielectric materials, shapes and feeds, e.g. coaxial probe, microstrip line or substrate integrated waveguide. In project is listed measuring radiation efficiency of antennas in general and method used wheeler cavity. Bachelor thesis contains design of waveguide with proposal of dielectric resonator. Design of the antenna was conducted in software CST Microwave Studio and there are demonstrated results of simulations. Radiation efficiency of the dielectric resonator antenna was measured by the Wheeler method and the efficiency received from the measured gain. The work included the measured results together with a comparison of the measurements of both methods and simulations.
