Novel implantable antenna with miniaturized footprint size for wideband biomedical telemetry applications

Abstract

Abstract Medical telemetry applications rely heavily on biomedical implanted antennas. These biomedical implanted devices can enhance and monitor patients’ daily life circumstances. A low-profile, downsized size implanted antenna operating at 915 MHz in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band is suggested in this research. The antenna is a simple slotted patch supplied by a 50-impedance coaxial probe. The radiator is made up of two slotted parasitic patches with one square-shaped outer radiator are manufactured on a Roger Droid RT5880 substrate with a standard height of 0.254 mm ( ε r = 2.2, tan δ = 0.0009). The entire dimension of the given antenna is 11 × 11 × 0.2514 mm with an electrical size of 0.049 λ g × 0.049 λ g × 0.0011 λ g . The antenna spans a bandwidth of 0.82–1.05 GHz when working inside muscle tissues (25.13 percent). The antenna’s calculations and experimental findings are quite similar. The computed specific absorption rate (SAR) values inside muscle of above 1 g mass tissue are 7.25 W/kg, according to the data. The stated SAR values are lower than the limit set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As a result, the proposed small antenna is a strong contender for biological implantable applications.
