Radiation Pattern Measurement for UWB Body Worn Antenna

Abstract

In today's fast-growing world of various wireless communication applications low-profile devices are preferable. In the body area network (BAN) light weight, low profile devices are implemented on clothes. These devices are called wearable devices which are the parts of intelligent clothing. In the recent era ultra-wide band (UWB) technology is also a promising and challenging technology. In this paper, UWB is incorporated with a wearable antenna which is useful for wireless application. The presented antenna is developed using Teflon material as a substrate and radiation pattern measurement is done in the UWB range and beyond. Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology's fast data rate, low power consumption, and superior resolution capabilities have made it very popular in many applications. UWB body-worn antennas are essential for military communications, sports performance tracking, and healthcare monitoring, among other applications. The radiation pattern of an antenna, or how it radiates energy into space, is a crucial component of antenna performance. To maximise the functionality of UWB body-worn antennas and guarantee dependable communication, precise radiation pattern assessment is essential.
