Abstract
A unique flexible on-body matched antenna operating in industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band (2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz) for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications is proposed in this article. Considering WBAN antennas, the size of the antenna is 44 mm x 44.5 mm x 1.55 mm and the antenna is subjected to various parameters evaluation, biocompatibility test, specific absorption rate (SAR) calculation and integration with human phantom model. The designed antenna’s characteristics support WBAN applications with an impressive return loss (-52.808 dB) at its operation frequency. The proposed antenna, which is undergoing on various test i.e., radiation pattern, VSWR, IEEE standard SAR value, shows promising result to be fitted in ISM band and biotelemetry applications. Human phantom model, tissue and different dielectric properties are compared and reported suitable for onbody communications.
