| Abstract: | This article presents a miniaturized wideband planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for deep biomedical implant applications at 915 MHz. Compactness and wide impedance bandwidth are achieved using a shorting pin, a circular radiating patch, and open-ended slots etched in the ground plane. The antenna occupies an ultra-small volume of 63.5 mm3 and is designed and analyzed inside a fourlayer cylindrical human tissue phantom. The simulated and measured results show stable impedance matching over the ISM band, with a measured -10 dB bandwidth of 481 MHz (44.02%) and a peak realized gain of -28 dBi. Specific absorption rate (SAR) analysis confirms compliance with IEEE safety limits. In-vitro measurements using minced pork show close agreement with simulations, validating the antenna's performance and its suitability for reliable deep biomedical implant communication systems.
