In this study, a wideband tunable metamaterial (MTM) consisting of T-H shaped symmetric resonator is presented for body-centric applications operating in the millimeter-wave frequency band centered at 28 GHz. The characteristics of the proposed MTM are examined through wave propagation in both Z and X directions. It has a wide operating frequency range of 5.6 GHz for waves travelling along the Z-axis, with DNG characteristics at 26.2 GHz resonance frequency. However, it represents a negative epsilon metamaterial (ENG) range during X-axis wave propagation in the 25-29.4 GHz frequency range.

Metasurface absorbers (MSAs) are of significant importance in a wide range of applications, such as in the field of stealth technology. Nevertheless, conventional designs demonstrate limited flexible characteristics and a lack of transparency, hence constraining their suitability for certain radar stealth applications. This study introduces a novel MSA operating in the broad microwave range, which exhibits both optical transparency and flexibility. The structure consists of a flexible substrate made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), along with a resistive film composed of indium tin oxide (ITO). The proposed structure exhibits the ability to effectively absorb over 90% of the energy carried by incident electromagnetic (EM) waves across the frequency range of 9.85–41.76 GHz within an angular range of 0° to 60°. In addition, to assess the efficacy of the absorption performance, an examination of the radar cross-section (RCS) characteristics is conducted. The results indicate a reduction of over 10 dB across the aforementioned broad frequency spectrum, regardless of the central angle.
The paper outlines a methodology to diminish mutual coupling in 4-port dual-band MIMO textile antenna for biomedical applications. This antenna leverages MIMO technology and Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) for operation in two distinct frequency bands at (3.5 & 2.45 GHz). The antenna is made up of four octagonal patch antennas, each having a bar and a split-ring (SR) slot with 47.2 x 31 mm2 dimensions for each patch. A hybrid mutual coupling (MC) approach was investigated with closely spaced patches (up to 0.05 lambda). Various bending setups have been selected along with flat case to examine the antennas' resilience which demonstrate such agreement between measured and simulated findings. Furthermore, the MC is only -20 dB, the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is 0.001, and maximum peak measured gain of 5.2 dBi is achieved with lowest peak specific absorption rate (SAR) value. Even when bent at a 60 degrees angle along with y-axis and x-axis, the antenna retains a decent gain of 1.861 dBi in the low frequency region and 5.479 dBi at high frequency band. Surprisingly, the antenna outperforms the attenuation produced by the lossy effects of the human body, indicating a favorable alignment between the modelled and observed findings.

Moreover, it preserved the shape of time-domain input signals with a high correlation factor of 94.86%. To further validate our approach, another non-directional antenna with proven head imaging capabilities was modified with a reflector, achieving similar directivity enhancements. The combined results demonstrate the feasibility of RLAs for improved performance in MMI systems.

Furthermore, another approach, such as supervised regression machine learning (ML), is used to forecast antenna gain. The variance score, mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), R square, mean squared logarithmic error (MSLE), mean absolute error (MAE), and so forth are used to gauge how well ML models perform.
