Abstract
Body area network (BAN) is a small-range wireless network consisting of devices placed in, on and near about human body. It consists of wearable or implanted electronic devices that transmit ID or sensor data to a gateway device. It uses an electric field, electric current or electromagnetic communication technology. So there can be three different types of data transmission techniques in a BAN. These are really useful in various medical applications, such as monitoring the functionality of implants, tracking the health record of elders and various testing like endoscopic exams. But if we want this technology to be a thriving industry, we require to define its scope and potential in a better way, and a clear vision for its future is also very much needed. BAN is capable of providing highly useful functions. It is also a handy, unobtrusive, low-power system that consists of high data security. Seeing its importance and use in upcoming scenarios we have presented a review paper on the various challenges encountered while working through this body area network and the different ways to get the least errors by introducing various configurations of the microstrip patch antenna. Performance analysis of wearable antenna under BAN in various possible situations is discussed through this review study which will be very helpful in designing a miniaturized flexible wearable antenna working under BAN.
