Coupled Lines for Wearable Power Dividers: Coupled Transmission-Line Sections for Power Dividers in Wearable and Flexible RF Electronics

In 2013, the Global Standards Initiatives on Internet of Things (IoT) defined the IoT as "a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies," with the term "thing" described as an object in the information world that is capable of being indentified and integrated into communication networks. Things in the IoT sense can, therefore, refer to a wide variety of devices for media, environmental monitoring, infrastructure management, manufacturing, energy management, medicine and health care, building and home automation, transportation, metropolitan-scale deployments, and consumer applications that demand accurate and reliable methods to sense changes, even in extremely rugged environments [1].
