Antenna System for Communication in Underground Mining Environment to Ensure Miners Safety

Miniaturized antenna system for the safety of miners in an underground mine for providing communication has been presented in this paper. Miniaturization of the proposed antennas is achieved by using printed inverted-F and inverted-L elements. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna geometry...
