This paper presents reflector-backed microstrip patch antenna covering the medical body-area network (MBAN) and a 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, medical band. The combination of electromagnetic coupled feed line and reflector is proposed to widen impedance bandwidth and reduce antenna sensitivity to human body effects. The proposed antenna radiates in unidirectional beam to meet the requirement of on- and off-body propagation. 3-layer tissue model is used to represent human body for on-body channel simulation. The antenna is built on substrate with permittivity of 3.3 and finite ground plane of 50mm × 50 mm. The antenna, when evaluated at fc=2.45 GHz, achieves -10 dB S11 bandwidth of 7.7% (on-body) and 8.5%(off-body), and realized gain of 6.6 dBi. Good on-body performance of the proposed antenna shows its prospect in MBAN.
