Abstract

This paper approaches and investigates the study of modeling and development of microstrip patch antennas for wireless body-centric communication. In view of new developments, it exhibits and analyzes the fractal antennas using Minkowski Island technique for on-body communication to miniaturize and make the antenna more efficient. A fractal figure is used multiple times or its down scaled figures to broaden the boundary of it which results in generation of additional current and miniaturization of antenna. The design of fractal antenna using Minkowski Island split ring resonator technique achieves multiband operation (frequency bands 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 5.2 GHz) which concentrates on wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (Wi-Max). This fractal antenna using Minkowski Island technique is designed and analyzed on the basis of the parameters: reflection coefficient, voltage standing wave ratio, radiation pattern, and SAR.
