Design and simulations of implanted antenna inside the human body

Abstract

Antennas are used in biomedical applications particularly for EM Radiation energy therapy of different tumors. Most often they are used in the frequency range of MHz. In this paper a spiral Planar inverted F antenna is to operate a MICS (Medical Implanted Communication Service) frequency range of 402–405 MHz. It is designed to implant inside the human body for the treatment of different tumors. The design is carried out using HFSS software. The antenna performance characteristics are analyzed using parameters like i/p impedance, reflection coefficient, Return loss, 3D Gain and E-Field distribution are obtained.
