Dataset for the Paper titled "Flexible 2.4 GHz Node for Body Area Networks with a Compact High-Gain Planar Antenna", accepted for publication in the IEEE AWPL. Measured VNA results and 3D simulation models are presented Author: Mahmoud A. H. Wagih Mohamed (Mahmoud Wagih), Yang Wei, Steve Beeby 2018 Abstract: "A flexible 2.4 GHz wireless sensor node with a bespoke single layer monopole antenna, tuned for on-body operation for wearable applications, is presented. Multiple antenna design approaches for tuning on-body antennas have been investigated. The proposed antennas, patch and meandered, designed for operation in the insole, exhibit a simulated realised gain of -3.98 dB and -1.97 dB respectively. The antennas were fabricated on a 25 µm flexible polyimide substrate, exhibiting up to 16% lower insertion losses at 20 GHz than FR4 PCBs. The integrated node incorporates a commercial Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) system-on-chip and exhibits 9 dB higher measured gain than commercial modules with reference antenna design. Moreover, through functional radio test, it was confirmed that the designed node passes Bluetooth transmitter certification tests."
