Loïc Marnat, et al., "On-chip implantable antennas for wireless power and data transfer in a glaucoma monitoring SoC" IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (11), 2012, 1671. Abstract: For the first time, separate transmit and receive on-chip antennas have been designed in an eye environment for implantable intraocular pressure monitoring application. The miniaturized antennas fit on a 1.4-mm 3 CMOS (0.18 μm) chip with the rest of the circuitry. A 5.2-GHz novel inductive-fed and loaded receive monopole antenna is used for wirelessly powering the chip and is conjugately matched to the
