This paper presents a compact multifrequency reconfigurable patch antenna in terms of design and fabrication for operating in the S and C bands of the RF spectrum, which are overwhelmed by wireless applications. Reconfiguration is achieved by using a single PIN diode on the ground plane. By varying the voltage applied to the diode, three modes can emerge, exhibiting main resonant frequencies at 2.07, 4.63, and 6.22 GHz. Resonance switching requires a voltage of less than 0.9 V. The antenna fabricated on an FR-4 substrate, with a volume of 70 × 60 × 1.5 mm, has a radiating patch element of a rectangular ring shape. The proposed low-cost antenna is easily implemented in a typical university lab-based environment. The total bandwidth for the three modes is close to 1 GHz, while the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the fabricated version of the antenna does not exceed 1.02, and the return loss is well below -40 dB for the three primary resonant frequencies.

Article Synopsis
- Implantable sensors are becoming popular for localized and continuous monitoring in medical settings, allowing for early detection and timely interventions.
- There are two main types of implantable sensors: active, which have more advanced functionalities but require a power source, and passive, which don't need power and offer simpler, smaller designs.
- This review focuses on passive sensor technologies, discussing their materials, detection methods, clinical applications, advantages over active sensors, and important considerations for their packaging and compatibility with the human body.
