Implantable CPW Fed X-Shaped Monopole Antenna For Biomedical Application
Abstract
An implantable CPW fed X-shaped monopole antenna operating in the ISM band (2.4–2.48 GHz) for biomedical applications. The proposed antenna is made compatible for implantation by embedding it in an Al2O3 ceramic substrate. A study of sensitivity of the antenna performance as a function of the dielectric parameters of the environment in which it is immersed was performed. The proposed antenna is simulated using the method of moment’s software IE3D by assuming the predetermined dielectric constant for the human muscle tissue, fat and skin and the parameters of the antenna such as return loss, radiation pattern, and VSWR are plotted.
