The antenna is designed for the 2.45GHz frequency band. The parametric analysis of the proposed antenna is carried out. The proposed antenna achieves stable onbody performance: |S11| varies from −16.05 dB (on skin) at 2.47 GHz resonant frequency to −16.40 dB (in free space) at 2.44 GHz resonant frequency. It was found that the maximum 1 g average SAR value is only 0.23W/kg for an input power of 100mW when the antenna is placed directly over the skin of a three-layer body model, and radiation efficiency is 20.5%. The measured results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed antenna.enArticle
