Abstract

Recent technological developments and advancements in wireless communication spread over different areas. Body Area Network (BAN) is a system of devices in close proximity to a person’s body that cooperate for the benefit of the user. It is still an emerging technology, and as such it has a very short history. BAN technology emerges as the natural byproduct of existing sensor network technology and biomedical engineering. In this paper, a compact dual Band high gain Microstrip Patch antenna is designed for Wireless Body Area Network Applications. A reflecting Surface is added at a distance s from the antenna to enhance the gain. A significant result has been obtained to support the applications such as medical application, communication as well as wireless monitoring.
