A triple-band Electrically Coupled Loop Antenna (ECLA) is designed to operate in the three standard bands for biomedical implantation purposes: Medical Implant Communications Services (MICS)(402–405 MHz), Wireless Medical Telecommunication Services (WMTS)(1395–1405 MHz) and Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM)(2400–2480 MHz). An equivalent circuit is derived for the multiband ECLA based on simple equations relate the dimensions with the circuit parameters to get a good understanding of antenna operation as well as saving time in simulations. The proposed antenna size is 15× 13.8× 13 mm 3 and simulated in a muscle phantom with size 100× 100× 100 mm 3. The calculated peak realized gain values are− 18,− 30 and− 33.3 dBi and the peak 10 g averaged Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values are 11.59, 43.07 and 49.75 W/Kg for the three bands, respectively. A detuning study is carried …
