Compact dual-band implantable antenna for E-health monitoring

This work presents a compact dual-band Planar Inverted F-antenna (PIFA) antenna useful for E-health monitoring and wireless sensors systems. The antenna operates in the Industrial Standard and Medical (ISM) and Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) bands. It offers a compact size with dimensions 12.6 × 8.5 × 2.4 mm ³ . Two different simulators have been used to verify the results. The proposed antenna performs well in the presence of a bio-compatible insulator (BCI) material.
