A novel dual-port, dual-band self-duplexing implantable antenna for head implants is presented in this article. It operates at 915 MHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band (when Port 1 is active) and 1420 MHz Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) band (when Port2 is active). The proposed antenna is kept inside a flat device and simulated in a human head model. The miniaturization of the proposed antenna is achieved using a high dielectric substrate, shorted pins, and multiple capacitive slots. Consequently, it occupies a compact volume of 7.13 x 8.9 x 0.13 = 8.24 mm(3). The coupling between both radiators is enhanced by printing it on a thin substrate and placing vias between them. As a result, an isolation level better than 31.4 dB is achieved. It has peak realized gains of -18.94 and -17.06 dBi at 915 and 1420 MHz, respectively. The link budget analysis and specific absorption rate (SAR) are performed, showing promising results. The proposed concept is practically validated by measuring its performance inside the minced pork meat. Furthermore, the simultaneous transmit and receive concept is practically verified with the aid of software-defined radio (SDR). The main advantages of this antenna are its compact size, low coupling level, independently controllable bands, and simultaneous transmission and reception of signals without using a multiplexer circuit. © 2023 IEEE.
