In this letter the effects of a lossy background on an antenna for wireless embedded sensors network has been studied. The efficiency of the antenna versus the concrete structure size decreases from 72% down to ∼20%. However, it is shown that the boresight gain is essentially unaffected by the block size. The proposed configuration is robust against concrete permittivity variations, change in block dimension and presence of rebars.

Abstract
In this letter the effects of a lossy background on an antenna for wireless embedded sensors network has been studied. The efficiency of the antenna versus the concrete structure size decreases from 72% down to ∼20%. However, it is shown that the boresight gain is essentially unaffected by the block size. The proposed configuration is robust against concrete permittivity variations, change in block dimension and presence of rebars.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
