A New Design for an Implantable Medical Antenna

Reema Kumari

Abstract


Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) are scaled down gadgets that can be embedded inside human body with next to no possible risk to wellbeing and headway in IMD area is essential for the improvement of the biomedical telemetry. This article has proposed a plan of a scaled down implantable wandered Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) that ready to work Medical Implant Communications Services (MICS) band. The proposed radio wire has a shorting pin in a reasonable situation for better scaling down bringing about a more conservative receiving wire size and unrivaled execution is noticed. The reproductions are led in a rectangular model where the tissue properties identical to human body is set utilizing bio-tissue material. After that, four distinct substrates are used to observe the antenna's return loss and gain while maintaining its constant dimensions. The antenna's performance is then compared to that of the various substrates. The planned radio wire has a volume of 1.492 cm3 which can be better fitted in an IMD effectively.
