“…The exponentially growing applications of wireless communications have resulted in the need of novel, multi-functional and multi-band antennas. In this context, the microstrip antennas offer a competitive solution with several advantages like low form-factor and cost, ease of manufacture and integration into a compact system etc., [1][2][3][4][5]. Such antennas can communicate with multiple devices operating at different frequencies [6][7][8][9][10][11], and this has opened new avenues of research on multiband and ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

This paper reports the SAR analysis performed to study the effects of the human body on the radiation parameters of a microstrip patch antenna designed on a Roger RT5880 substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.2. The CST Microwave Studio suite environment was used for design simulations, and the antenna was fabricated using MITS electronics’ Eleven Lab antenna printing machine. The printed antenna was placed near the human body to assess its performance in terms of return loss, bandwidth, realized gain, directivity, efficiency, and SAR. The SAR observed in the vicinity of the human body is within the IEEE standard. The designed antenna is hence proposed to be suitable for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) applications.

“…An accurate localization can be obtained if good directive antennas and suitable localization algorithms are available. Therefore, one of the key elements of the study success is an on-body detailed investigation using real antennas to take into account the antenna performance in close proximity to human body and also to predict the onbody channel propagation behavior [5].…”

This paper gives an insight of an on-body study using Low-UWB (lowest mandatory UWB band of IEEE 802.15.6 standard) directive antennas. Investigations are first carried out by simulations with male and female voxel models with different antenna body separation distances. The antenna performance is assessed in close proximity to a human body in terms of return loss, impedance matching, directivity, realized gain and efficiencies. The on-body matching results were confirmed by measurement with different real persons. Later, a free-space propagation study was conducted to assess the farfield antenna performance and to serve as a reference for onbody studies. Finally, an on-body propagation study is presented for different antenna positions with different separation distances from the body.
