Abstract :
A miniature antenna has been designed for use in the 2.45 GHz ISM frequency band. The design, having dimensions 60 mm × 11 mm × 3.6 mm fits within an eye frame. The antenna shows an input impedance that is independent from the connected coaxial cable due to the specially shaped ground plane, including current blocking slots. The antenna performs well in free space as well as in close proximity to the human head due to an encapsulation of the antenna in a dielectric.
