A Survey on Design Parameters of Antenna in Terahertz Wireless Body Area Networks

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has created a booming evolution in the past decade. These networks are characterized by their coverage over a large area with small connected sensors. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) comes as a subset of WSN. In this type of network, the sensors are deployed over the body of the patient to analyze and collect data regarding various parameters like temperature pressure, etc. The design parameters of antennas are compared in this paper along with the design parameters that is required for designing an antenna in the terahertz frequency range. Various methods that can be used to enhance the performance matrix of the antenna are also discussed.
