Description

In this research work, an inset fed microstrip patch antenna, an analysis of its effect on human body and human body influence on antenna performance are presented. Polystyrene substrate (?r= 2.6) with a 1 mm thickness is used to create the proposed antenna. Use of HFSS Ver. 18.2 is made for simulations. The simulated antenna exhibits S11 of -37.4 dB in the absence of human arm and -28.39 dB in the presence. Similar to this, the SAR findings showed that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value obtained is 1.28 W/kg, which is significantly less than the allowed standard of 2 W/kg, when the suggested antenna is set at an offset of 2 mm off the body's surface. Hence the proposed antenna can be suitable for integrating with medicalmonitoring devices. 2024 Author(s).
