Kissi and Srifi (IEEE ICCSC 2026) present a compact 28 GHz mmWave antenna designed for wearable 5G health-monitoring devices worn directly on the body. The 8×6 mm antenna on a flexible RT5880 substrate resonates at 33 GHz in free-space and shifts to 28 GHz when placed on human tissue.

🏭 This piece is covered in EMF Signal's section on industry and infrastructure developments that may be relevant to EMF exposure.

"This paper presents a comprehensive study of a mmWave antenna designed to serve 5G applications. The antenna is proposed to be mounted on the body surface, which incite its assessment near the human body."

— Kissi & Srifi, IEEE ICCSC (2026)

"It has been concluded that the antenna is sensitive to the separation distance value which requires a good emplacement to not exceed the safety limits."
