Abstract
This chapter presents a comprehensive survey of edible antennas, exploring their design, development, and potential applications in emerging fields such as biomedical monitoring, healthcare, and environmental sensing. Edible antennas, crafted from biocompatible, biodegradable materials, offer unique advantages in applications where traditional antennas are unsuitable, especially in scenarios requiring ingestion or close human contact. The chapter begins with a detailed review of the state-of-the-art in edible antenna technology, discussing various fabrication methods, materials used, and performance metrics such as gain, efficiency, and bandwidth. Key considerations such as antenna miniaturization, impedance matching, and specific absorption rate (SAR) compliance are examined. Moreover, this survey delves into the integration of edible antennas with next-generation communication systems, including 5G/6G networks, which promise enhanced data rates, low latency, and reliable connectivity for real-time applications. The role of advanced materials such as metamaterials in improving antenna performance is also explored, along with future research directions and challenges such as signal attenuation in body tissues, energy harvesting, and sustainability. This survey concludes with insights into the future of edible antennas and their potential impact on personalized medicine, smart healthcare systems, and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).
