The size of the proposed implantable medical antenna is 28 mm×28 mm×0.62 mm3, where Rogers RO3210 material with a thickness of 0.62 mm has been used as a substrate. The antenna is analyzed under planar and bent conditions inside a three-layer of human tissue (skin, fat and muscle); where the simulations are carried out with the help of CST MWS software program. Finally, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values are assessed to check the amount of harmful electromagnetic fields emitted by the human body. Therefore, the proposed antenna design is convenient to be used in healthcare applications.}, number={1}, publisher={Tayfun UYGUNOĞLU}
