Antennas and Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications at
Millimeter-wave Frequencies
Prof. Yang Hao
Queen Mary University of London, UK
Body-centric wireless communications refer to human-self and human-to-human networking with the use
of wearable and implantable wireless sensors. It is a subject area combining wireless body-area networks
(WBANs), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). Body-centric
wireless communications has abundant applications in personal healthcare, smart home, personal
entertainment and identification systems, space exploration and military.
So far, many studies and applications have been developed in a range of frequencies that extend from 400
MHz up to 10 GHz. However, many advantages can be found in operating such systems at millimeter-wave
frequencies. For example, compact antennas suitable for body-centric applications can be obtained
together with other benefits, such as higher data rates and reduced interference and "observability".
Meanwhile, numerical modeling of antennas and propagation at millimeter-wave frequencies represents a
major challenge in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
This talk presents a review of some current work conducted at Queen Mary University of London, related to
antennas and propagation for body-centric wireless communications. Aspects related to measurement
setup, numerical modelling, channel characteristics are briefly discussed. Applications and future trend of
this research will be also presented, specifically in the field of body-centric communication at frequencies
of 60 GHz and 94 GHz.

Biomedical and Healthcare Applications

It is widely accepted that wireless biomedical and healthcare applications are currently the most promising technologies for increasing
the quality of health services while, simultaneously, decreasing their cost . This is mainly achieved by registering or monitoring the
physical and physiological status of patients, in order to prevent critical health situations. However, the design of such applications is
very challenging in terms of engineering, since it enforces the operation of transmitters in the immediate vicinity or even inside the
electromagnetically most complex natural setting, that of the human body. In addition, the devices have to be wirelessly charged in
many cases. An efficient application necessitates the design of antennas integrated into small devices capable to deliver reliably the
appropriate information from and to the patient, and, in several cases, also directly to health care centers using minimal spatial
volume at minimal power consumption. Moreover, all regulation requirements must be met, including the specific absorption rate
(SAR) and over-the-air (OTA) performance. There are a number of engineering tools required to achieve this multifunctional
optimization: (i) realistic computational human phantoms that allow for a comprehensive representation of the application use,
including experimental phantoms; (ii) powerful and reliable computational electromagnetic solvers; (iii) fast experimental SAR
methods; (iv) traceable near-field EMI/EMC techniques to reliably test interference and unintended radiation effects; and (v)
assessment of the OTA performance.
The computational human models should be able to simulate the entire variability of usage, i.e., represent the different detailed
anatomies from children to adults for both sexes, as well as different postures. An example of such computational phantoms is the
Virtual Population (ViP) .
These models consist of several hundreds of irregular structures and, therefore, millions of surface elements. Specialized solvers need
to be integrated to effectively perform electromagnetic optimizations from ELF to optical frequencies within these models.
Great
progress has been achieved in recent years with respect to simulation technology, such as (i) effective subgriding; (ii) dispersive
tissue and material handling for broadband sources; (iii) compartmentalization of the computational domain with the Huygens source;
(iv) high performance computing, including GPU-accelerated solvers and visualization tools; (v) coherent or incoherent combination
of the induced electric field distributions in the body, or the resulting SAR distributions, to study the effect of multiple exposure;
multiphysics coupled models for (vi) bioheat transfer in tissues, and (vii) neural stimulation, in order to directly determine potential
health risks .
During the last two years great progress has also been achieved in automatization and acceleration of SAR testing . New
technologies for traceable very close near-field scanning have become lately available that can be extended with novel and fast
near-to-far-field transformations to determine both intended and unintended radiation of wireless devices and step up their safety
evaluation process.

Advanced Physical Phantoms for Evaluation of Microwave Antennas
Prof. Koichi Ito
Chiba University, Japan
It is essential to evaluate interactions between the human body and electromagnetic (EM) waves radiated from
antennas for mobile terminals or other wireless equipments to be used in the vicinity of the human body. The
"interactions" mean two ways: an influence of the human body on the performance of the antenna as well as an
influence of EM waves on the human body. Such interactions are estimated by numerical simulation and/or
experimental evaluation. Today, computational simulation with numerical human-body phantoms is a very
powerful tool and many commercial softwares are available. However, results of numerical simulation should be
validated with other techniques such as an experiment with physical phantoms. As conventional physical
phantoms, tissue-equivalent liquid, gel, semi-hard or solid phantoms have usually been employed according to the
purposes or situations. In our laboratory, we have studied and developed different types of semi-hard phantoms.
This presentation introduces some examples of advanced physical phantoms including (a) inhomogeneous
phantom to simulate different internal organs, (b) UWB phantom which covers ultra-wide band (3.1-10.6 GHz)
frequency range, and (c) dynamic phantom to simulate the movement of the human body.

Fully-Passive Wireless Neurosensing System for Unobtrusive Brain Signal Monitoring
Prof. John L. Volakis
Ohio State University, USA
Brain implant technology has the potential to improve the individual’s well-being. Applications include epilepsy
monitoring and early seizure detection, prosthetic control, trauma and addiction assessment, among others.
However, current/in-research brain implants has yet to overcome the challenges of (a) wired connections to the
implant that pose infection risks and hinder natural lifestyle, (b) heat generated by the implant’s battery, and (c)
losses within the implant that limit the implant capability to read low-level neuropotentials. In this talk, we will
present an electronic brain-machine interface system capable of reading most of the neurological brain signals in
a care-free manner and while the person is carrying out normal activity. This game-changing neurological sensor
is based on a fully-passive and wireless neurosensing system for acquiring very-low-power brain signals, as low
as 50μVpp in frequency-domain. The system is able to wirelessly detect neuropotentials down to 28 μVpp in the
frequency band of 100 Hz to 5 kHz. This is a 90-fold sensitivity improvement as compared to previous
fully-passive implementations, in addition to allowing detection of most neural signals generated by the human
brain. The proposed neurosensing system brings forward a new possibility of wireless neural signal detection
using fully-passive technology.

Microwave Imaging for Medical Applications:
a Thirty Years Pursuit Toward Clinical Acceptance
Prof. Jean-Charles Bolomey
Supelec, France
This presentation retraces from the beginning the development of the microwave imaging technology dedicated to
medical applications. Started thirty years ago with experiments on isolated animal organs, microwave imaging
techniques were rapidly oriented for targeting clinical applications where, as compared to other existing modalities,
microwaves were supposed to bring some undisputable advantages such as favorable specific contrasts between
healthy and pathological tissues, harmlessness of examination, low cost of equipment, easiness to use, etc.
However, there is no choice but to accept that, except for very few exceptions, the initial expectations had to be
seriously tempered, mainly for having underestimated the complexity of severe scattering phenomena inside
human body and the difficulty in compensating them, by means of the available microwave and computer
technologies, for extracting the desired information from non-invasive measured data. Still today, microwave
imaging faces difficulties to get a noticeable clinical acceptance, as demonstrated by the extremely low number of
relevant publications in medical journals. The aim of this presentation is not really to update the long list, already
available in the literature, of supposed clinical applications for which microwaves are claimed to constitute a “good
candidate”, as the saying goes. Rather, it aims providing a chronological perspective for a better understanding of
the reasons why most of these applications have not been transferred yet into the clinical practice. It will be shown
that beyond well-known difficulties, shared by any technology transfer to clinics in terms of prototype duplication,
trial management, operator training, etc. some others are specific to microwaves. Analyzing these difficulties leads
to the encouraging conclusion that there is still some room to improve the performances of imaging systems,
either from the available, but not yet fully exploited, microwave technology or from the expected short/mid-term
increase of computing power. However, it also appears that a necessary, even if not sufficient, condition for
boosting the transfer toward clinics, requires changing the currently practiced “technology-push” strategy for a
“clinical-pull” one. Practically, this means that the projects should be initiated and interactively focused with
end-users toward well-identified clinical needs, rather than started without a clear understanding of the medical
challenge. Such a change in strategy, supported by the experience gained during the last decades, should allow
either identifying the most microwave-friendly imaging configurations of confirmed clinical relevance, or possibly
opening the door to other non-imaging microwave-based diagnostic modalities. An accurate and early
identification of an application is crucial for reducing the research and development effort and its related cost. In
addition, it should allow quantifying the effective market whose knowledge is necessary to translating the
“clinical-pull” in a “market-pull” approach, a key issue as soon as investment considerations come on the stage.
Finally, to summarize the situation, the conclusion could be that, at the moment, it is probably an industrial
investment whose microwave imaging has the greatest need to consolidate its clinical acceptance.

Paradigm shifting innovations move microwave breast tomography closer to clinical relevance
Prof. Paul M. Meaney
Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, USA
Microwave tomography has been discussed and studied for multiple decades with only minimal penetration into
the clinic – primarily for breast cancer imaging. Most studies have stalled at the simulation phase and have been
thwarted by problems including massively excessive computation times, debilitating multi-path signals and
unwieldy system configurations requiring large coupling baths and many, expensive antennas and measurement
channels. In contrast, we have developed a synergistic concept that incorporates seemingly counterintuitive
designs which directly address these demanding challenges. For instance, while our monopole antennas in
conjunction with a very lossy coupling bath can appear as poor choices for this application, they actually prove
radically beneficial in terms of shrinking the bath size, reducing the number of antennas and dramatically
reducing the computation time. Most importantly, our imaging algorithm is no longer prone to convergence to
unwanted, local minima solutions which would only be exasperating in any clinical environment. These advances
have allowed us to make considerable advances in the clinic. We have performed well over 500 patient exams for
a number of indications including exams in a diagnostic setting as well as for monitoring tumor progression during
neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We are also the first team to integrate a microwave imaging device within an MR
system for simultaneous imaging which exploits the exquisite spatial resolution of MR and the excellent specificity
of the recovered microwave dielectric property maps. This paper will provide a short summary of the history of
our system development and focus on the more recent chemotherapy monitoring studies with a short discussion
exploring other applications.

Noncontact Vital Sign Detection Using Microwave Radar: Applications in Biology, Medicine, and

Prof. Jenshan Lin
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida,USA
Microwave radars have been used in many applications covering long distance (e.g., Doppler weather radar and
airplane radar) to short distance (e.g., automobile radar and motion-sensing security radar). Stimulated by
successful demonstrations of new system architectures and detection methods from many research groups,
recently a new interest of detecting personal vital signs emerged. In the near future, personal radar integrated in
smartphone might no longer be science fiction. In this talk, I will review different vital sign radars and their
detection methods, and describe how the simple single-tone continuous wave (CW) radar can detect very small
cardiorespiratory movements without being affected by the high 1/f noise in electronic circuits. Several examples
of handheld low-power micro-radars will be presented, and recent improvements to enhance the accuracy and
shorten the acquisition time in real-time measurement will be described. A nonlinear Doppler phase demodulation
technique that enables simultaneous measurement of frequency and displacement of both respiration and
heartbeat movements will be presented. Last but not the least, I will also discuss the various applications
including emergency rescue, human and animal healthcare, biology, and biometrics.

Implantable and Wearable Wireless Medical Devices and Systems
Prof. Jung-chih Chiao
University of Texas at Arlington, USA
Wireless technologies bring promising solutions to many quality and cost issues in healthcare. Low-cost portable
wireless electronics have made significant impacts to our societies. Recent advances in micro- and
nano-technologies provide unique interfacing functionalities to human tissues. Advantages from miniaturization
and low power consumption enable novel applications in medicine and biological studies. Quantitative
measurement and documentation of behavior, physiological and biochemical parameters present more accurate
assessment of patients. The interfaces also provide direct control or modification of cells, tissues, or organs by
the electrical circuits making it possible to manage chronic diseases with a closed loop between biological objects
and computers. With wireless communication, implantable and wearable devices and systems make the
interfacing possible for freely behaving animals or patients without constrains, discomfort or limits in mobility.
This increases diagnosis accuracy in realistic environments as well as permits remote synthesis of physiological
functions and delivery of therapeutic treatment. Wireless communication enables networking for ubiquitous
access to physiological information at various system levels either within one’s body or within a group of patients
for better deterministic and statistical understanding of issues in complex systems.
The talk discusses the development of wireless micro devices and systems for clinical applications. The systems
are based on technology platforms such as wireless energy transfer for batteryless implants, miniature
electrochemical sensors, nanoparticle modified surfaces, microelectromechanical system devices and microwave
communication. In this talk, several implantable and wearable wireless diagnosis and therapeutic treatment
systems will be discussed. These applications enable new medicines to improve human welfare and assist better
living.

WBAN Circuits and Systems
Prof. Hoi-Jun Yoo
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea
Recently, wireless body area network (WBAN) is getting more and more attention in the emerging portable
applications which combines healthcare and consumer electronics working around the human body. The major
design challenge associated with the WBAN is to extend the lifetime of the WBAN devices under limited energy
source. Since the most power hungry IP in the electronic portable devices is the wireless communication, the low
power communication PHY becomes essential. Compared with the antenna based communication including
narrow band (NB) PHY or ultra-wide-band (UWB) PHY, body channel communication (BCC) which uses the human
body as a communication channel is considered as a power-efficient wireless communication solution of the WBAN
because high conductivity of the human body in a low frequency band enables low power communication. In
addition, BCC has the lower signal loss through the communication because it is not affected by the body
shadowing effect which largely increases the signal loss to the NB or UWB. Since the BCC was firstly presented in
1995, a variety of power efficient BCC transceivers have been presented, and eventually 2012, the BCC was
included in IEEE 802.15.6 which is for WBAN.
In this presentation, we prepare two parts: First one is about low-power BCC transceiver design. More than seven
BCC transceivers which were presented in ISSCC and several Journals will be explained with its subjects and circuit
design techniques. Also, the body channel analysis will be included to help attendees understand. Second, the
application SoCs with BCC transceivers will be introduced. Several healthcare SoCs adopted the BCC transceivers
for wireless communication due to its low power consumption, and those SoCs will be explained in detail. Through
this presentation, we can discuss the use of BCC transceivers and its future applications.

Diagnosis of Human Skin Lesions (Cancer and Burns) Using High-Frequency Techniques –
A Review
Prof. Reza Zoughi
Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) “Cancer of the skin is by far the most common of all cancers.
Melanoma accounts for less than 2% of skin cancers cases but causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths”. The
ACS estimates that in 2014 in the United States about 76,100 new cases of melanoma will have been diagnosed
and approximately 9,710 people are expected to die from melanoma. If diagnosed in their early stages, 95% skin
cancers are curable. Visual inspection using size, shape, color, border irregularities, ulceration, tendency to bleed
and whether the lesion is raised, hard or tender are common approaches to diagnosis. Visual inspection is
subjective and susceptible to human error. Malignant skin tumors have different biological properties than the
surrounding healthy skin, which enables distinction between these two types of skin using a proper inspection
technique. A noninvasive method producing reliable and real-time information about a suspected skin malignancy,
that enables dermatologists to obtain a real-time diagnosis of the likelihood of a lesion being cancerous, would be
of great clinical and diagnostic value. Burn injury represents a wide range of tissue damage. The classification and
treatment of thermal injuries are determined based on the depth of invasion into the underlying tissue. The
postoperative management of skin and skin-substitute grafts is complicated by the need to stabilize the grafts with
dressings, which introduces some limitations for readily removing it to monitor the grafted wound for correctible
problems. When it comes to burned skin, comprehensive diagnosis refers to detection as well as evaluation of
critical parameters, the most critical of which is the depth of invasion. A diagnostic tool allowing for real-time
qualitative and quantitative evaluation of a burn through desiccated skin or optically-opaque dressings represents
a significant addition to the medical toolbox used by physicians and first responders caring for burned patients.
Microwave and millimeter wave signals (~300 MHz - 300 GHz) are non-ionizing and can readily interact with
human skin and respond to changes in its properties. This interaction is dependent upon the biophysical (i.e.,
dielectric and thickness) properties of skin, as well as electromagnetic parameters such as the frequency of
operation and specific characteristics of the probe used. There are several technical and practical beneficial
features that make high-frequency evaluation of human skin quite attractive as a potential medical diagnostics tool.
A historical and technical review of high-frequency inspection techniques, used for evaluating skin cancer and
burned skin, will be presented. Issues related to technical advances in developing real-time imaging systems as
well as the potential future possibilities in this realm will be presented.

New Frontiers in Terahertz Technology
Prof. Mona Jarrahi
University of California at Los Angeles, USA
Although unique potentials of terahertz waves for chemical identification, material characterization, biological
sensing, and medical imaging have been recognized for quite a while, the relatively poor performance, higher
costs, and bulky nature of current terahertz systems continue to impede their deployment in field settings. In this
talk,
I
will
describe
some
of
our
recent
results
on
developing
fundamentally
new
terahertz
electronic/optoelectronic components and imaging/spectrometry architectures to mitigate performance limitations
of existing terahertz systems. In specific, I will introduce new designs of high-performance photoconductive
terahertz sources that utilize plasmonic antennas to offer terahertz radiation at record-high power levels of several
milliwatts – demonstrating more than three orders of magnitude increase compared to the state of the art. I will
describe that the unique capabilities of these plasmonic antennas can be further extended to develop terahertz
detectors and heterodyne spectrometers with single-photon detection sensitivities over a broad terahertz
bandwidth at room temperatures, which has not been possible through existing technologies. To achieve this
significant performance improvement, plasmonic antennas and device architectures are optimized for operation at
telecommunication wavelengths, where very high power, narrow linewidth, wavelength tunable, compact and
cost-effective optical sources are commercially available. Therefore, our results pave the way to compact and
low-cost terahertz sources, detectors, and spectrometers that could offer numerous opportunities for e.g., medical
imaging and diagnostics, atmospheric sensing, pharmaceutical quality control, and security screening systems.
And finally, I will briefly highlight our research activities on development of new types of high-performance
terahertz passive components (e.g., modulators, tunable filters, and beam deflectors) based on novel
reconfigurable meta-films.

Telemedicine and structured patient support program in cardiovascular care: a single medical
center experience in Taiwan
Prof. Yen-Wen Wu
Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Cardiovascular disease remains a significant chronic healthcare problem in this century, with considerable
associated economic and quality-of-life challenges worldwide and in Taiwan. Telehealth technologies provide
opportunities to meet the rapidly growing needs of consumers and healthcare practitioners. However, the
effectiveness of telemedicine depends on patients' ability to adhere to schedules of case management. In addition,
many in need of services have limited access to high-end technologies. In order to provide comprehensive medical
care and improve the post-discharge care quality, we initiated a patient support program during hospitalization in
patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or heart failure (HF) since January 2014 in the cardiovascular
medical center of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. Under participating physicians’ supervision, health educators
provide initial face to face health education 1-2 days before the discharge. The telemedicine, "Health+" App
system developed by Far EasTone Telecommunications Co. Ltd is incorporated after patients agreed. After the
discharge, the case managers periodically assess the clinical conditions (including the symptoms related to sodium
and fluid intake, physical activity), medication and adherence, and also remind the follow-up by phone. Patients or
family could consult by phone in the working hours. Between January 2014 and The January 2015, service fee of
first month was supported by the research projects of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital (FEMH-2013-HHC-002,
FEMH-2014-HHC-002). Patents could continue the service thereafter. In order to evaluate the acceptability and
satisfaction of the telehealth technologies among cardiac patients, the patient satisfaction was scored from 1 (very
unsatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied) after the end of the first month. The reasons to decline the extended service were
also analyzed. A total 533 participants were enrolled in the first year. Half (53%) were 50 - 70 year-old, and 34%
had smart phones. Six subjects (1.13%) expired within 1 month and were excluded for subsequent analysis.
Patient interviews indicated that telephone follow-up was helpful and the App system was acceptable to patients
and their families. The majority of patients were very (28%) or satisfied (53%) the service. However, a quantity of
elderly patients had difficulties to use smart phone. The utilization rate of App function was low. Most patients
agreed the 1-month service was good and helpful, but only 35 extended the service (6.6%), and 15 (42%)
declined App function. The most common reason to decline the extended service was good self-care/family
support (56.5%). 15 % subjects questioned about value or refuse for personal economic concerns. In conclusion,
the cardiac patient support program demonstrated good acceptance and satisfaction. However, high-end
technologies posed significant barrier, especially in elderly patients. Although the telemedicine-enabled patient
centered care approach, there is substantial room for improvement, such as friendly designed user interfaces and
cost. Working closely with government and industry, it is possible for us to develop a system to support the use of
this technology in the clinical practice and to expand application to patient education and continuing medical
education.

Modern Healthcare Systems Relying on Advances in Wireless Antenna Technology:
At no Times in History have Antennas come so close to the Humans!
Prof. Yahya Rahmat-Samii
University of California at Los Angeles, USA
In my previous plenary talks I conjectured, “The next big paradigm in health care systems will be connecting
patients to their doctors and hospitals at any time, any location and with any amount of monitoring and
diagnostics data”. We are now in the midst of this new paradigm to becoming a reality. Global research
organizations, including academia, and giant health care companies are spending huge amount of money in
making this next big dream of mankind to become a household reality. History has shown that it typically
takes about a quarter of century to bring any out-to-the-box ideas into the mainstream. The current paste
that wireless health care systems are advancing should certainly fulfil this quarter of century projection.
Perhaps Einstein’s quotation, namely, “If at first an idea does not sound absurd then there is no hope for it”,
fits this emerging paradigm very well.
Broadly speaking, one may categorize the research efforts in wireless healthcare arena into three
complimentary areas: (a) Patient diagnostics and sensing, (b) Patient connectivity and identification, and (c)
Patient monitoring and compliance. Each of these areas requires tailored electronics and most importantly
customized and body compatible low profile, flexible, on body and in body antenna designs. This plenary
talk will address many fascinating aspects of customized antenna designs addressing all the three
mentioned categories. Attempts will be made to highlight the fundamental design aspects of these classes
of antennas including human interactions, simulation techniques, performance characterizations,
representative examples from RFID, wearables, implantables, all the way to brain machine interfaces.
Unique challenges and future outlook of wireless healthcare will be discussed.

Acoustophoresis-based particle manipulation in microfluidics has gained increasing attention
in recent years. Despite the fact that experimental studies have been extensively performed to
demonstrate this technique for various microfluidic applications, numerical simulation of
acoustophoresis driven by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) has still been largely unexplored. In
this work, a numerical model taking into account the acoustic-piezoelectric interaction was
developed to simulate the generation of a standing surface acoustic wave (SSAW) field and
predict the acoustic pressure field in the liquid. Acoustic radiation dominated particle tracing
was performed to simulate acoustophoresis of particles with different sizes undergoing a SSAW
198
field. A microfluidic device composed of two interdigital transducers (IDTs) for SAW
generation and a microfluidic channel was fabricated for experimental validation. Numerical
simulations could well capture the focusing phenomenon of particles to the pressure nodes in
the experimental observation. Further comparison of particle trajectories demonstrated
considerably quantitative agreement between numerical simulations and experimental results.
Particle switching was also demonstrated using the fabricated device that could be further
developed as an active particle sorting device.
