Summary:Implantable antennas for biomedical applications are on leading edge of research for medical diagnosis such as glucose monitoring, tracking, pacemaker etc. Biomedical applications require antennas that are very small in size but can meet designated requirements. In this paper a 24mm x 34 mm cupcake shape fractal patch antenna is designed and simulated using CST software. The designed antenna operates in 2.45 GHz frequency band called industrial, scientific and medical band (ISM band). Designed antenna's reflection coefficient, VSWR, surface current, gain and far-field plot are simulated and observed. The designed antenna provides 670 MHz (27%) bandwidth in the band of 2.20 - 2.87 GHz. This antenna is miniaturized and compacted to be utilized as an implantable antenna for biomedical applications.
