Abstract

A compact antenna system for a smart watch is presented. A non-resonant element (12 mm x 3 mm x 2.4 mm) is used to achieve operation for short-range wireless (2.4GHz2.5GHz) and for mobile bands (824MHz-960MHz and 1710MHz-2170MHz). In both situations, the compact antenna system achieves its operation thanks to a proper design of a matching network. In this sense, there is no need to design a different antenna for each case, but only change the design of the matching network which is faster and easier. Measurements shows total efficiency for said two cases in the presence of a phantom hand. The main outputs of the present analysis are that height of the smart watch is relevant in order to minimize the power absorption due to the phantom hand. Moreover, for mobile operation, and in particular for the low bands at 824MHz-960MHz, a ground plane extension is a useful mechanism to achieve competitive efficiency values.
