Abstract

In this paper, two different bands operated on the body antenna are presented with a very small dimension of 22 × 26 × 1.6 mm3. The ground plane is modified and loaded with rectangular slots for getting the desired operating bands and for better matching. The proposed antenna is fabricated on FR-4 dielectric material, and it is operatable for WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz) as well as for X-band (8–12 GHz) with bandwidth efficiency of 41.8% and 40% respectively. The proposed antenna is successfully implemented on the body phantom justifying the optimal values of SAR for both operating bands of frequencies. The monopole antenna can be operated for different broadband communicational applications, satellite communication, and military operations.
