A reconfigurable wearable repeater antenna (RWRA) for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications is proposed. The RWRA can work at triple‐mode by controlling the state of PIN diodes, which are repeater, on‐body and off‐body modes. The antenna is fed by a single port at side instead of bottom for the sake of reducing the profile and improving the coupling strength between the RWRA and an implantable antenna. The total size of the antenna is π × 282 × 4.8 mm3. To validate the performance, the RWRA is fabricated and measured on minced pork. Measured bandwidths at repeater and on‐/off‐body modes are 5.8, 84, and 54 MHz, respectively. Radiation patterns are omnidirectional with vertical polarization at on‐body mode and broadside at off‐body mode, which measured peak gains are 1.2 and 5.4 dBi, respectively. Specific absorption rate (SAR) values at all three modes are analyzed in this article as well. Coupling strength between the RWRA and an implantable antenna is also measured. Besides, the effect of distance and misalignment between them are analyzed.

“…To analyze the effect of the human body on the antenna performance, the antenna is located d mm above a two-thirds muscle-equivalent phantom [13]. On the other hand, in on-body mode, resonance at 5.8 GHz was achieved by the higher-order mode of the circular patch on the bottom layer.…”

A novel coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed dual-band dual-mode patch antenna for on-/off-body communications is proposed. The proposed antenna, which comprises a T-shaped patch with parasitic patches, a circular patch, and a CPW feed line, has dimensions of 30 mm × 45 mm × 3.2 mm. The proposed antenna operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band (2.4 -2.485 GHz) for off-body communication, and in the 5.8 GHz ISM band (5.725 -5.875 GHz) for on-body communication. The antenna has a patch-like radiation pattern in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and a monopole-like radiation pattern in the 5.8 GHz ISM band.

“…Recently, antennas with monopole‐like radiation characteristics have been proposed . Half‐hemispherical dielectric resonator antenna , higher mode microstrip patch antennas , and square‐ring patch antenna have been suggested, but the large height of these antennas is not suitable for on‐body communication. In , a low‐profile antenna was realized by using gap coupling with parasitic elements.…”

In this letter, a low‐profile dipole antenna with parasitic elements for WBAN applications is proposed. The antenna consists of a dipole radiator, two parasitic elements, and a ground with a slot. The resonance created by the two parasitic elements along with the basic resonance of the dipole radiator, provides dual resonances covering the 5.8 GHz ISM band. By adding the slot in the ground plane, the impedance matching is improved and the resonance frequency is lowered. The antenna has enhanced radiation along the near phantom surface in the 5.8 GHz ISM band due to the parasitic elements. The proposed antenna is placed on a human equivalent flat phantom in order to analyze the performance of the antenna on a human body. Regardless of the existence of the phantom, the antenna stably operates in the 5.8 GHz ISM band. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:1093–1097, 2016
