Design of a Dipole Antenna for WBAN Applications

초록

In this paper, a dipole antenna with parasitic elements for WBAN Applications is proposed. By adopting parasitic elements, dual-resonance characteristic is achieved. To analyze the antenna performance on a human body, the proposed antenna located on a human equivalent flat phantom is simulated. A return loss characteristic of the antenna is insensitive to the existence of the phantom. The antenna has radiation characteristic suitable for onbody communication applications.
