The book consists of the latest research in biomedical and communication integration. It discusses the fabrication and testing outcomes of the Internet of Things-enabled biomedical applications. The book focuses on recent advances in the field of planar antenna design and their applications in space communication, mobile communication, wireless communication, and wearable applications. Planar antennas are also used in medical applications in microwave imaging, medical implants, hyperthermia treatments, and wireless wellness monitoring. This book presents planar antenna design concepts, methods, and techniques to enhance the performance parameters and applications for IoT and device-to-device communication. It provides the latest techniques used for the design of antennas in terms of their structures, defected ground, MIMO, and fractal design. This book also addresses the specific steps to resolve issues in designing antennas and how to design conformal and miniaturized antenna structures for various applications.

Dr. Prasad Shastry, FIETE, Sr Member IEEE, Member Sigma Xi, is a Professor of microwave and wireless engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois. Before joining Bradley University, he worked at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1982-91). He has over 40 years of experience teaching from the Undergraduate to Ph.D. levels in addition to over 49 years of R&D experience. At Bradley University, he developed the curriculum, laboratories, and an active research program in the area of microwave and wireless engineering. He established a National Science Foundation-supported advanced microwave engineering laboratory for testing MMICs, an anechoic chamber for antenna measurements, and a microwave integrated circuit fabrication facility. His areas of research include wideband distributed amplifiers (DA), DA architecture-based circuits, reconfigurable circuits and antennas as well as wideband and multi-band antennas, wireless power transfer, and ambient RF energy harvesting. He has made significant contributions in his area of expertise in Industry-University collaborative projects. He has served as director of RF development at Validus Technologies (2006-2014) and advised Endotronix, Inc from its start-up phase. He has a Ph.D. degree in microwave engineering from IIT-Bombay (1980). During his doctoral research, he invented the widely-used Linearly Tapered Slotline Antenna (LTSA). He has M.Tech (Microwave and Radar Engineering) degree from IIT-Kharagpur and B.E (Electronics) degree from UVCE, Bangalore University. He received Post-Doctoral Fellowship from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1982, where he made pioneering research contributions to the area of Wideband Distributed Amplifiers. He served as a senior scientist at LRDE, Bangalore (1980-82) and at DRDL, Hyderabad (1974-75). Dr. Shastry is the author/co-author of over a hundred manuscripts and publications. He holds two US patents on Electronically Tunable Active Duplexers. He has supervised numerous post-graduate and undergraduate student projects over 40 years. He has served as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions and other international journals, international conferences, and books as well as on expert review panels of the National Science Foundation, U.S.A.
