description This paper presents a miniaturized triband implantable planar antenna that covers the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band and the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) band which can be used in a continuous blood glucose monitoring device. The antenna consists of a slotted radiating patch and a ground plane with a cross slot to miniaturize its size. The overall antenna size is only 51.35 mm3 (7.6 × 7.6 × 0.889 mm3) due to the reduced size by the slotting technique. Compared to other implantable antennas with similar performance, the proposed antenna is smaller in size, simple in construction, and easy to be fabricated. By cutting a cross slot in GND, impedance matching is improved, especially at the two higher frequency bands. We have fabricated the prototype and carried out measurements. The results show its gains are −32.2 dBi, −18.8 dBi, and −19.1 dBi at 0.9 GHz, 1.4 GHz, and 2.45 GHz, respectively. Its radiation patterns have good symmetry in the two lower operating frequency bands. In addition, the maximum SAR values comply with the IEEE standard safety guidelines (IEEE C95.1-2019).
