ABSTRACT In this chapter, an implantable coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed monopole U Slot antenna at industrial scientific and medical (ISM) band for biomedical applications is proposed. The proposed antenna has a overall dimensions of 29 mm × 29 mm × 0.5 mm at the ISM band (2.4–2.48 GHz). The proposed antenna placed on human tissues like skin, fat, and muscle. The designed antenna is made compatible for implantation by embedding it on RT Duroid substrate and the 10 dB return loss bandwidth is 5.24% ranging from 2.35 to 2.5 GHz. Implantable CPW fed monopole slot antennas are being significantly used into implantable medical devices and RF, because of its merits like conformability, flexibility in design and shape and also it has biocompatibility, patient safety, miniaturization, power consumption etc. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
