In this work we designed a rectangular patch antenna in the teraherk band for wireless body network (WBAN) applications using CST software. This antenna is simulated with RO4003C substrate (εr = 3.55) and has dimensions of 199 × 154 μm<sup>2</sup> for width and length, respectively. We obtained return loss of -41.408 dB, -43.918 dB, and -29.92 dB; gain of 5.32 dB, 6.21 dB, and 4.851 Db; directivity of 6.659 dB, 7.502 dB, and 6.566 dB; in 0.74 THZ, 1.148 THZ, and 1.734 THZ frequencies, respectively. The simulation results are very satisfactory, and this antenna can be used for WBAN applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
