Abstract

In this paper, the design of a simple rectangular slotted inset-cut fed implantable antenna is proposed. By using slotting technique in patch as well as ground plane, the size of the proposed antenna is reduced significantly to 10.2 × 8.61 × 1.92 mm3 with very small patch size of 6.2 × 4.5 mm2 suitable for implantable biotelemetry application around 2.45 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. An appreciable fractional bandwidth of 13.7% with a good return loss of − 20.02 dB has been achieved. In-vitro analysis of the antenna prototype is carried out by inserting the prototype into skin mimicking liquid.
