Abstract: A planar UWB antenna is intended to deploy for on-body applications. The antenna is typically to manage for free space and placed on a harmonized phantom. The calculations are performed for return loss, radiation pattern and gain. The performance of the UWB antenna ranges from 3-11.2GHz. The main feature of the antenna depicts superior impedance level with good satisfaction on on-body propagation. Here, the observation between the phantom and antenna are carried out which results in input matching of the proposed antenna. The return losses are very slightly affected but the Gain of the antenna is seen decreasing significantly, after placing the antenna on the phantom.
