Abstract

In this article, two antennas having partial ground plane, slot loading with microstrip line feeding are proposed for wireless and biomedical applications. Antennas resonate at 2.4 GHz with two different bandwidths. The first antenna having 20% bandwidth, i.e., the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) of 2.10 GHz-2.61 GHz that can be utilized for wireless application and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) allotted band of 2.36 to 2.39 GHz for medical applications falls in this range. The UWB antenna has undergone additional tuning to make it appropriate for biomedical application. Additionally a parametric analysis of antenna's slot length, width and dielectric constant is performed to optimize the performance characteristics. The antenna is fabricated and tested using Vector Network Analyzer. The acquired results from simulation and measurement are in close match.
