Abstract

We present characteristics of a free access transmission line consisting of a paper substrate and foam for easy installation in body area network applications. The free access transmission line assists the communication between wireless devices. This paper shows the coupling characteristics between two dipole antennas with and without the transmission line. The coupling level on body propagation increase 30 dB by the assistance of transmission line.
