Abstract
A novel on-body antenna targeted for 2.45 GHz customised in-the-ear
hearing instrument applications is designed, implemented, and
measured. The antenna is designed to use the maximum volume available
in the user’s ear canal and to provide isolation from the user’s
body. The polarisation is primarily normal to the surface of the head
to ensure the best on-body path gain. Efficiency and S-parameters
from measurements in free space and on a specific anthropomorphic
mannequin head endowed with ears are presented.
