Split Ring Resonator Loaded Z-Slots Antenna for On-body Communication

Abstract

Split Ring Resonator (SRR) loaded antennas are indispensable for on-body monitoring applications. The core inconveniences of convention antennas have poorer gain and bandwidth. The main characteristic SRR loaded types of antenna have high gain and bandwidth. In this design conductor backed coplanar wave guide fed line (CB-CPW) used. The core advantages of CPW fed have lower attenuation and dispersion. The prototype resonated frequencies are 2.4GHz and 3.5GHz. The 2.36GHz to 2.48GHz are used for ISM band applications. The 3.3GHz to 3.6GHz are used for WiMAX/5G medical service applications. The simulated reflection coefficient results consist of −20dB at 2.38GHz and −22dB at 3.55GHz for Metamaterial loaded antenna, −24dB at 2.43GHz and −15dB at 3.5GHz for slot1 antenna,−23dB at 2.43GHz and −14dB at 3.5GHz for slot2 antenna with bio-muscle.−34dB at 2.43GHz and −15dB at 3.5GHz for non-Metamaterial loaded antenna.
