Abstract In this paper presents the patch antenna in the shape of hexagon bow-tie antenna for implantable bio-medical application in the frequency range of 2.4–2.48GHz ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band. The patch antenna designed with CPW feed for high frequency response. The proposed system is designed with the material of Alumina ceramic substrate (Al2O3), the value of dielectric constant is 9.8 with thickness of 1mm. The total size of the antenna is 10*10*1 mm. The main advantage of proposed system is it consumes very low size and the accuracy of the system is increased. The designed antenna is analyzed with human tissues like skin, fat and muscle and the parameters of the antenna like return loss, VSWR, radiation pattern and gain etc, are measured. The return loss of proposed antenna is-29dB achieved. So the proposed hexagon shape bow-tie antenna is used for several implantable applications.
