Abstract :
In this paper, a 60-GHz H-plane horn antenna is designed and studied in the context of Body Area Network (BAN). Targeting both size reduction and bandwidth widening, we obtain an optimal design that meet a good tradeoff between compactness, matching, bandwidth and multimode propagation. The study of return loss is conducted considering the dimensions of the horn antenna.
