Transition of Wide Band to Dual Band CPW fed Rectangular Wearable Microstrip Antenna for Implementation in WBAN

Abstract

A rectangular wearable microstrip antenna with coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed is proposed for wideband application, which is operational between 3.5GHz to 6.5GHz. Then with the integration of rectangular split ring resonator at the ground plane, the antenna is made to resonate simultaneously at 3.5GHz i.e. the Wimax band and 5.8GHz i.e. the second WLAN band respectively. Thus the proposed microstrip antenna illustartes wide band to dual band transition which can be integrated in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN).
