Novel Compact Design and Investigation of a Super Wideband Millimeter Wave Antenna for Body-Centric Communications

This paper presents a novel design for a multiple band millimeter wave antenna with a wide active region in the extremely high frequency (EHF) range. The antenna's performance was tested at three evenly separated frequencies: 60 GHz within the V-band region, 80 GHz within the E-band region, and...
