Abstract
In this paper a miniature microstrip disk antenna with a superstrate is studied for implantable antennas application. The performances of two antenna designs, one loaded with a superstrate of different thicknesses t, and another also loaded with superstrate but of a reduced size have been investigated. It is shown that the further miniaturized antenna with superstrate provided acceptable results for the magnitude of the reflection coefficient and the radiation efficiency.
