Abstract
AbstractA dual‐band bio‐implantable compact antenna with a meander‐line structure is presented. The proposed meander‐line antenna resonates at the industrial, scientific, and medical (2.4 GHz) and wireless medical telemetry (1.4 GHz) bands. The meander‐line structure is selected as a radiating patch given its versatile and effective design. With a dimension of only , the designed antenna is compact. Considering a skin phantom, the proposed antenna was designed, optimized, and simulated. The Rogers RT/duroid 6010 substrate material with high dielectric constant was used to fabricate the meander‐line dual‐band implantable antenna, which was validated experimentally. The superstrate was made of the same material. Experiments were conducted on skin‐mimicking gel. The designed meander‐line antenna has a high peak gain of −21 dBi at 2.4 GHz, and its maximum specific absorption rate is compliant with IEEE safety standards.
