In this paper, a patch antenna based on spiral split rings is proposed for bone implants in the 401-406 MHz Medical Device Radiocommunications Service (MedRadio) and 433-434 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. The antenna is small of only 7 mm in radius and 3 mm in thickness. It has obtained maximum gains of -36.8 and -35.6 dBi at 403 and 433 MHz, respectively in a simplified multilayer leg model. The antenna has a robust performance that is verified in simplified leg models of an adult and a child. It can communicate over a distance of longer than 12 m in an indoor environment. The antenna proposed in this paper is probably the smallest reported bone implantable antenna that works for the 401-406 MedRadio and 433-434 MHz ISM bands. The effect of the structure parameters on the antenna performance is investigated which provides guidelines for other designs inspired by such a structure.
