Abstract:A low-profile UWB antenna is presented in this paper for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. The proposed antenna consists of a modified mono-cone structure by adding a semi-sphere on top of the mono-cone. A top-plate is added as overhead to the proposed antenna. This plate leads to a height reduction when compared to conventional mono-cone antennas. In this paper, the effect of ground plane dimensions, effect of top-plate dimensions, effect of the supporting legs and effect of the total height of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
