Abstract

Originally introduced by the material science community, skin-mounted electronics is nowadays the new frontier for unobtrusive body-centric monitoring systems. Current advances of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology can boost this emerging class of bio-integrated devices exploiting low-power (even passive) wireless communication and sensing interfaces. This contribution resumes the performance of UHF RFID epidermal antennas, their optimal size, and ...
