Green Wearable Meta Materials and Fractal Antennas with Energy Harvesting Units for IoT, 5G and Medical Systems

Small, printed antennas suffer from low efficiency. Low-profile efficient antennas are crucial in the development of commercial compact 5G communication and IoT systems. The communication, IoT and biomedical industries have been in rapid growth in the last years. It is important to develop efficient high gain compact antennas for 5G communication and IoT systems. Metamaterials and fractal structures may be used to improve the efficiency of compact printed antennas. In this chapter metamaterial antennas will be presented. Green metamaterials antennas may be developed by using green materials, as presented in Chapter 3 . Energy harvesting units can be connected to the antennas and sensors presented in this chapter to provide green renewable energy.
