Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW)-based antenna systems have gained significant attention for biomedical signal transmission and imaging applications due to their low loss, compact structure, and efficient planar integration. This study investigates the design and performance analysis of SIW antennas for biomedical communication and imaging environments, where reliable, high-resolution, and low-loss signal transmission is essential. A multi-band SIW antenna structure is developed for potential use in wearable biomedical sensing and non-invasive imaging systems. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate improved gain, reduced signal loss, and enhanced radiation stability compared to conventional microstrip and patch antennas. The proposed system also supports integration into intelligent healthcare environments requiring real-time monitoring and data communication. In addition, a machine learning-assisted optimization approach is conceptually integrated to enhance design efficiency, improve parameter tuning, and support simulation validation. Results indicate that SIW antenna systems offer strong potential for biomedical imaging and wireless healthcare applications requiring compact and efficient antenna solutions.
