▎ 摘  要

In order to explore the expediency of graphene for biotelemetry in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), conformal square patch antenna design has been presented in this paper. The operational efficiency of the antenna is attributed to the incredible properties of graphene as patch conductor. The proposed antenna designed for operating in band from 1-4.88 GHz is fed with microstrip line and quarter wave transformer for impedance matching. The antenna however achieves best performance at 2.4 GHz in ISM band with good impedance matching, reasonable dB gain and high radiation efficiency for the wideband of frequencies in GHz range. The proposed wearable conformal graphene based antenna is optimally positioned at distance from body to make it suitable for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) health monitoring systems fulfilling the requirements of wideband operation, high gain and improved radiation efficiency at reduced SAR.
