- Additional information
- Overcomes a key research challenge in continuous communication for wearable and implantable medical applications by combining circular polarization and dual propagating modes with a single antenna element without switching complexity. This allows much greater simplicity in transceiver circuitry in future implantable and IoT wireless communication applications, but also halving the number of antennas needed in an application where space and weight are premium factors. This antenna research forms part of the technology roadmap in a recent wearable antenna spinout - AntennaWare Ltd, (12/2020), which will drive the development forward to maximise the societal and economic impact of the research.
