Abstract

This paper discusses the design of a broadband Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) tailored and modified appropriately for implementation as a textile wearable antenna in Body Area Networks (BAN). DRA addresses the issues of small size, wide bandwidth and low conductive loss in particular. Due to its vital credentials, DRA serves well to be a choice as a wearable antenna for on-body communication system. The proposed design is simulated in CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS). The prototype is a textile-based construction offering a wide impedance bandwidth. Detailed tests and measurements carried out using a full-body phantom are reported in this paper.
