Broadband Loop Antenna on Soft Contact Lens for Wireless Ocular Physiological Monitoring by Ssu-Han Ting, Bo-Ming Jeng, Wen-Shan Chen, Jin-Chern Chiou, Ching-Hsing Luo

“…With the advantage of small size, the proposed antenna is suitable to apply to the soft contact lens and transmit the signal in microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). Because the pig's eye and human's eye have similar parameters of conductivity and permittivity, the experimental results are obtained by applying the proposed antenna on the pig's eye and cover from 1.54 to 6 GHz for ISM band (2.4 and 5.8 GHz) applications. …”
