This letter introduces a new implantable antenna operating at the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) 2.4–2.4835 GHz band for use in muscle and fat. The antenna design comprises an unsymmetric dipole with a rectangular ground plane and a side-fed radiator. The radiator consists of a step-shaped feedline and two wound arms of different lengths. The longer arm excites a first resonance at 2.46...Show More
This paper presents a pattern reconfigurable antenna array consisting of two identical antenna elements on an FR-4 substrate. Each antenna element includes a main patch (MP), four main parasitic patches (MPP), and four sub-parasitic patches (SPP). Ten ideal switches are mounted on the MPP and SPP to control the connection/disconnection of each parasitic patch with the ground plane to achieve patte...Show More
