Design Of Wearable Patch Antenna Using Wireless Body Area Networks - Review

Antennas are essential in wireless communication, serving as a link between digital devices and the vast networks that run our modern life. They are particularly crucial in wide area networks (WANs), which span large geographic areas. Antennas are designed to broadcast and receive signals across great distances while maintaining flawless connectivity. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged as transformative technology in various applications, such as healthcare monitoring and sports performance analysis. The proposed idea focuses on designing and optimizing a wearable antenna specifically for WBANs, addressing the unique challenges of on-body communication. The system offers reliable wireless connectivity while considering size constraints, power efficiency and regulatory compliance. Key objectives include selecting the appropriate frequency band, choosing the right antenna type, optimizing antenna placement for user comfort and achieving precise impedance matching for efficient data transmission. The proposed idea uses electromagnetic simulation tools for design and construction of physical prototypes for real-world testing.
