Abstract: “The Body Area Network (BAN) is an area which helps constant monitoring of Human health with real-time updates of medical records through Internet. In this paper, we propose an on-body performance of wearable Microstrip patch antenna which operates in Industrial scientific Medical (ISM) frequency band at 2.45 GHz. This antenna is designed to achieve better return loss gain and bandwidth. The antenna return loss is about -25.54 db with microstrip feed and -22.68 db with coaxial feed at 2.45 GHz. Another field parameters like Gain, Directivity, Radiation and Specific Absoption Rate (SAR) values have been evaluated on the body and on free space antenna with FEM based software HFSS ver. 10.0.”
