Abstract: The revolution in telecommunications triggered by the democratization of mobile phones was the starting for the renewed interest in electrically small antennas in the nineties. Since then, wireless communication has become ubiquitous, with new applications emerging each day. This has led to an exponentially increasing demand for miniaturized antennas, from small antennas for mobile phone to antennas for implanted biosensors. This contribution reviewed the evolution of electrically small antennas since the nineties, with special emphasis on antennas for implants and wearables. Design and measurement strategies were presented, along new results on fundamental limitations for antennas radiating into lossy media.
This tutorial was divided into three parts: miniature antennas; implantable antennas; wearable antennas and measurement issues.
