Two types of miniaturized dual band implantable antennas are designed and presented, one of a meander type and the other is the so called comb antenna. In medical applications the electromagnetic characteristic changes of tissue in different situations and the corresponding resonant frequency shifts, should not disturb the data transmission. The objective is to design dual band antennas in 400 MHz and 2.4 GHz with suitable bandwidths and small sizes. The meander type antenna was fabricated and its S parameters were measured using an equivalent liquid phantom of skin, fat and muscle which included propanol, butanol, purified water and salt. The experimental results are shown and compared.
