Abstract

In this paper an ultra wideband antenna is presented with a capability to reject WLAN band at 5.25 GHz and is optimized for on-body communications as well. The design is validated by extensive simulations and is backed up by the fabrication and measurements. Antenna is bent at different angles to validate its performance for different bending angles. In addition to antenna design, radio propagation modelling is also performed. Path loss is calculated for ten different locations on the body with respect to transmitter on waist and time domain analysis is performed. The presented results shows that antenna has excellent characteristic for different bending angles and environments. In addition radio propagation studies shows the advantage of using band notch antenna for on-body applications.
