A novel dual-band bio-implantable patch antenna for biomedical applications with improved compactness and bandwidth
摘要
The development of compact biomedical antennas has advanced significantly to meet the increasing demand for efficient and safe implantable devices. This research introduces a small dual-band bio-implantable patch antenna fit for the Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS, 0.403 GHz) along with the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM, 2.45 GHz) bands. The antenna utilizes a meander-line radiating patch, defective ground structure, and RO3010 superstrate for miniaturization as well as bandwidth enhancement. The produced prototype with 6.2 × 5.2 × 0.5 mm³ dimensions shows dual-band operation with bandwidths of 0.24 GHz (MICS) and 0.73 GHz (ISM) respectively. The simulated gains of -16.73 dB and − 11.16 dB make it possible to have communication that is low-power, safe, and in-body. SAR analysis confirms compliance with IEEE C95.1 standards when normalized to realistic implant power levels. The antenna’s compactness, dual-band performance, and biotelemetry suitability make it a strong candidate for implantable medical devices.
