Abstract

Ambient computing enabled for body area networks have received much consideration over the past couple of years due to its applications in biomedical, healthcare monitoring, and military systems. Such systems are attracting users in other applications like gaming, fitness, sports, and other life style tools. The fast-moving lifestyle of people impelled them in a situation of less consideration of their health and sports, and it generated the need of healthcare monitoring and tracking devices. Advances in wireless technology and embedded technology have generated keen interest in antenna, mounted on or around the body to transmit or receive the vital data of human body to on-body or off-body systems. The proposed antenna is for the use in wireless body area network (WBAN), in UWB frequency range 3.1 GHz.-10.6 GHz. Enhanced bandwidth ultra wideband (EB-UWB) patch antenna consists of the dimensions 30 mm×27 mm×1.6 mm. The prototype is fabricated and tested in free space and on-body scenario.
