  • Abstract
    In this paper, the performance of a loop-shaped fractal antenna in the BSN system was studied. The feasibility of the application of this fractal antenna in the BSN was discussed. The radiation pattern s both in free-space and in on-body environment of the suggested fractal antenna was compared. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna was compared with that of the loop antenna which was considered as a typical antenna in BSN system. In time domain, the Second-order Gaussian pulse response of the proposed antenna was measured. The path loss for the on-body channel were studied and measured, the comparison between the modelled and measured results was shown. From the study, the proposed fractal antenna was suitable in the on-body UWB communication.
