Parametric Study and Design of Implantable PIFAs for Wireless Biotelemetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design parameters of a skin–implantable planar inverted–F antenna (PIFA) operating in the 402–405 MHz Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) band are studied and their impact on the exhibited resonance characteristics is assessed. Based on the parametric results, two novel MICS PIFAs are proposed for skin–implantation. The study, thus, evaluates the tuning stability of a novel implantable PIFA on potential manufacturing inaccuracies. Significant guidance on implantable PIFA design is also provided. Numerical results based on Finite Element Method (FEM) numerical simulations are presented.
