Why it is important to have a thorough approach to simulation of wearables:

• Realistic Performance Evaluation: Simulating wearable devices on the body provides a more accurate representation of how antennas perform in real-life scenarios. The human body, with its diverse shapes, sizes, and compositions, can significantly impact antenna performance, including radiation patterns, gain, and efficiency.

• Enhanced Radiation Patterns: Wearable devices often have limited space for antennas, making it challenging to achieve optimal radiation patterns. Simulating on-body scenarios enables us to analyze and optimize antenna designs to counteract body effects such as detuning, signal blocking, and distortion.

• SAR and Human Exposure Evaluation: Safety is of paramount importance in wearable technology. Simulating on-body scenarios allows us to assess specific absorption rate (SAR) and evaluate the electromagnetic field exposure to the human body.

• User Experience Optimization: Wearable devices are meant to seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, enhancing user experience. By simulating on-body scenarios, we can understand the impact of antenna placement, orientation, and impedance matching on the overall user experience.
