A Novel Concept for an Adhesive Medical Antenna

Seema Kumari

Abstract


Progress in the field of implantable medical devices (IMDs) is crucial to advancing biomedical telemetry since IMDs are essentially safe, downsized devices that can be inserted into the human body. A plan for a reduced implanted wandered Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) that is prepared to operate in the Medical Implant Communications Services (MICS) band has been offered in this article. Unmatched execution is noted, and the suggested radio wire contains a shorting pin in a sensible location to enable better scaling down and a more conservative reception wire size. Using bio-tissue material, the reproductions are produced in a rectangular model with tissue qualities that are identical to those of the human body. The antenna's return loss and gain are then monitored as it is kept at its constant dimensions using four different substrates. Next, the performance of the antenna is contrasted with that of the different substrates. With a volume of 1.492 cm3, the intended radio wire fits in an IMD more successfully.
