Abstract
A low-profile printed vertically polarized antenna for on body applications is presented. This antenna is designed to operate within the new 40 MHz bandwidth allocated for medical body area network. A good isolation and purely vertical polarization are achieved with a λ/16 height printed antenna at 2.38 GHz. The antenna has 2.56 dBi gain and 98.3% efficiency when placed perpendicular to the 40mm × 30mm ground plane.
