In this thesis new concepts of body-matched antennas for microwave medical applications were
developed where the antennas are placed directly on or in the human body. Two types of
antennas were designed - on-body matched antennas for diagnosis and implantable antennas for
data telemetry with the main focus of miniaturization yet maintained a high radiation
performance. The applicability of the antennas was verified using a medical imaging system for
the detection of hemorrhagic stroke. AbstractEnglisch = In this thesis new concepts of
