1. An antenna system comprising:
a plurality of antennas, each antenna in the plurality of antennas being formed with an input impedance, resonant frequency, and radiation pattern that differs from another input impedance, resonant frequency, and radiation pattern of each of the other antennas in the plurality of antennas in response to each antenna in the plurality of antennas being coupled to a substrate layer primarily composed of biological tissue having at least one predetermined electrical property to enable each antenna in the plurality of antennas to emit radio energy through tissue covered by the substrate layer, each antenna in the plurality of antennas comprising:
an electrically non-conductive layer;a radiator formed on a first side of the electrically non-conductive layer, the radiator being configured to be coupled to the substrate layer;a feed, the feed being electrically connected to the radiator; anda ground layer formed on a second side of the electrically non-conductive layer to be electrically isolated from the radiator, the first side of the electrically non-conductive layer being opposite the second side of the electrically non-conductive layer; a garment configured to hold the plurality of antennas in a predetermined arrangement for coupling to the substrate layer, the garment comprising:
a dielectric layer having a first side configured to engage the ground layer of each antenna in the plurality of antennas; andan electrically conductive layer positioned on a second side of the dielectric layer, the first side of the dielectric layer being opposite the second side of the dielectric layer; a substrate measurement device, the substrate measurement device configured to identify the at least one predetermined electrical property of the substrate layer; and a selector, the selector having a processor configured to execute a computer program to select one antenna in the plurality of antennas with reference to at least one of the input impedance, resonant frequency, and predetermined radiation pattern of the one antenna for coupling with the substrate layer with reference to the identified one predetermined property of the substrate layer. |
