N2 - A new reconfigurable low profile microstrip patch antenna with switchable propagating modes for wireless body area network is presented. The directivity gain of the antenna is 6.8 dBi in the off-body mode, and 6.4 dBi in the on-body mode. The prototype covers the ISM 2.45 GHz band. The operating frequency of the antenna remains the same irrespective of the direction to which the beam is steered.
