Novel Compact UWB Band Notch Antenna Design for Body-Centric Communications

In this paper, a novel and compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with band-notched characteristics for body-centric communication is examined implemented. The shape of the designed looks like ‘swan’ slotted patch. performance parameters both free space on-body scenario are analyzed investigated through simulation process using Computer Simulation Technology (CST). This can avoid interference caused by Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (5.15–5.825 GHz) Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access (WiMAX) (5.25–5.85 systems band notch because newly UWB revised small form factor sized. At first, return loss response, gain, radiation patterns, efficiency on evaluated. After that, also to place at various distances 2 mm, 4 6 8 10 mm away from 3-layers phantom body model frequencies 3.5 GHz, 5.2 5.8 GHz. All parameter results compared results. Lastly, changing patch slot length ground plane length, parametric studies were done comparison. Due its size, significant performance, proposed very suitable multi-purpose healthcare applications sports monitoring.
