BROADBAND LOW-LOSS ON-BODY UHF TO MILLIMETER-WAVE SURFACE WAVE LINKS USING FLEXIBLE TEXTILE SINGLE WIRE TRANSMISSION LINES

On-body transmission represents a challenge due to human body shadowing.This paper proposes a Sommerfeld-Goubau single-wire transmission line (SWTL) implemented using electronic textiles for low-loss on-body links up to millimeter-wave frequencies, overcoming the spherical spreading loss and on-body absorption.The SWTL is fabricated using a conduct

Background: Migration from Latin America to the US has been increasing over the past few decades.Migrants may experience structural and environmental vulnerabilities that increase their risk for negative impacts of climate change upon resettlement.This pilot study examined these determinants of health for Latin American immigrants in Atlanta.Method
