A meshed alternative version has also been developed which has similar performance to the circular wideband monopole antenna but requires less material. The specific absorption rate and efficiency of this antenna have been analysed as a function of separation distance and frequency. The mesh design has been fabricated by using embroidery and 3D printing techniques.
