The main objective of this article is to design a compact ring printed monopole antenna for WiBAN applications. The performance of antenna is measured based on gain, return loss, efficiency, radiation pattern, and operating bandwidth. The antenna is implanted into canola oil (for homogeneous material) and beef (for nonhomogeneous material). The final measured result shows satisfactory performance and good agreement with the simulated result. The result presented indicates that the gain of antenna is 0.8 dBi with 49% efficiency when antenna is implanted into canola oil, whereas the gain of antenna is −30 dBi with 0.04% efficiency when antenna is implanted into beef. The radiation patterns of antenna are changed depend on the size and material of human body model. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The enhancement technologies of wireless body area network improved the health monitoring system. Previous work have been designed the implantable chip printed antenna at 4.8 GHz. This paper is continuing the investigation where the antenna wave propagation in term of attenuation and polarization were studied. The antenna is implanted in human hand voxel model from CST Microwave Studio Software. The performances of the antenna are evaluated in term of return loss, gain and efficiency. Results show that the rate attenuation for the propagation is approximately 0.16 dB up to 0.42 dB. All the results will be guidelines in designing implantable antennas in futures.

“…The radiator is centre fed by a microstrip line with 4.1 mm length and width of 4.1 mm and 3 mm, respectively. It should be noted that no ground plane is added in the proposed design, since the body (or any lossy material) will act as a reflector to the antenna [23] …”

“…In order to operate as such systems, the antenna must be in small size and provide better performances than antenna operating in free space environments [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Based on the previously reported research works, printed monopole antenna has become a major field of interest due to its compact size, omni-directional radiation patterns, large bandwidth (BW) and high radiation efficiency [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Abstract-Wireless implantable body area network (WiBAN) is useful for monitoring vital human parameters in medical diagnosis such as breast cancer, heart attack and high blood pressure. The main objective of this paper is to design a small printed monopole antenna for WiBAN applications at 6.0 GHz. The small implantable antenna was tested in a lossy environment by being submerged into canola oil that mimics the dielectric properties of human breast fat tissue. The antenna performances were measured by using vector network analyzer (VNA) in order to evaluate the return loss and operating bandwidth of the antenna. The other parameters such as efficiency, radiation pattern and gain are evaluated by simulation of CST Studio 2012 software. When compared, there is good agreement between the simulation and measurement results. The simulated antenna gain and efficiency are 5.8 dBi and 97%, respectively, when submerged into canola oil. The antenna radiation pattern is directional, and it has 6 lobes implying its coverage in more directions which is of good benefit due to body movement. The antenna's polarization was tested by placing a wideband antenna at several degrees around the proposed
