Design And Implementation Of Wearable Antenna For WBAN Applications

Wearable antennas are rapidly growing in today’s world, being used in various fields. A monopole antenna backed with a 4*6 Artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is designed for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) Applications. The proposed antenna with dimensions of 68*102 mm

operates at Industrial, scientific, medical 5.8 GHz band with gain 7.14dB and efficiency 0.91. There is an improvement in front to back ratio and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) after placing the AMC backside. The designed antenna is placed on a human tissue modal and simulated. The simulated specific absorption rate is 0.5 W/Kg which satisfies both the US and EUR standards.
