This paper presents the design, simulation, and comparative evaluation of two Ultra-Wideband (UWB) microstrip patch antennas developed for Body Area Network (BAN) applications. Both antennas were precisely modeled and optimized using CST Studio Suite to achieve accurate electromagnetic characterization over an extended operational spectrum. The comparative analysis focuses on impedance bandwidth, radiation efficiency, and gain performance under body-centric conditions. The reference antenna demonstrates stable broadband operation with satisfactory gain and efficiency, while the modified configuration—featuring integrated U and H-slot geometries—exhibits substantially improved impedance matching, broader bandwidth coverage, and higher gain performance, particularly at millimeter-wave frequencies. Enhanced surface current distribution and electromagnetic coupling in the modified design contribute to reduced reflection losses and improved radiation characteristics. The authenticity and consistency of simulated data affirm the reliability of the proposed structure. Overall, the modified U–H slot antenna demonstrates superior performance in terms of gain, efficiency, and bandwidth stability, establishing its strong potential for next-generation wearable BAN systems and 5G-integrated healthcare communication devices, where compactness, reliability, and high data transmission efficiency are of critical importance.
