Commercial plaster material (polyacrylate) is used
as an antenna substrate. Two 2.45 GHz patch antennas are
introduced, both designed to be attached directly to the skin.
Measured efficiencies are 70 % in free space and 60 % on-body.
Measured on-body gains of each antenna are 6.2 and 1.4 dBi.
Simulated 1 g specific absorption rates (SAR) of the two antennas
are 2.3 W/kg and 1.6 W/kg using 1 W input power. 10 g SAR
values are 0.6 W/kg and 1.2 W/kg. Antenna feeding using snap-on
buttons is investigated and has been found useful
