What is it about?
An disc-shaped antenna structure is designed. The antenna operates at 32 GHz within 5G's n257, n258, and n261 under new radio bands for 5G. Its behaviour in free-space and when placed on the muscle tissue is studied. To evaluate its efficacy in on-body scenarios, a virtual model resembling muscle-equivalent human tissue is developed. The antenna's performance when positioned in proximity to the body model is analyzed. The CST Microwave Studio is utilized for antenna design.

Why is it important?
5G technology has leveraged its expansive spectrum availability, minimal latency, reliability, and exceptionally high-speed data transfer capabilities. After the COVID 19, there has been a need for unmanned monitoring of patients. For real-time patient supervision, and seamless data synchronization from various sensors in body area networks (BAN) and central terminals, robust connections and fast transmission are required that accommodate high data rates to facilitate precise monitoring of vital signs. The presented study designs a wide band 5G antenna and studies its performance for reflection coefficient and specific absorption rate to ensure its efficacy and safe operation as well suitable for a wearable device.
