Popis: Abstract Antenna miniaturization is essential for healthcare applications, and numerous studies have tackled the challenge of presenting miniaturized, reliable designs while maintaining performance. This paper presents a small circularly polarized (CP) sequential wearable array antenna with overall dimensions of only 110 mm × 95 mm × 1.8 mm. It comprises four novel designs of circular-shaped elements arranged sequentially in an array configuration measured only 24 mm×24 mm×1 mm. It is fed by a separate cascade feeding network incorporating a single rat-race and two branch-line couplers. The antenna is designed for medical device applications within the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) frequency band. The proposed design is fabricated and experimentally tested, demonstrating wide impedance bandwidths of 21.24% (2.2–2.72 GHz) and an Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidth (AR
