Abstract :
In this paper, the performance parameters of a small printed quasi-self-complementary ultra wideband (UWB) antenna in close proximity to the human body is investigated. The return loss response, impedance, radiation pattern and gain are investigated. The antenna shows good on-body performance, and therefore it will be suitable for on-body applications in UWB wireless body area networks.
