Design of a Planar Inverted F-Antenna for Medical Implant Communications Services Band

Abstract

A planar inverted F-implantable antenna is designed using the medical implant communications service (MICS) band (402-405MHz).The proposed antenna is designed using microstrip lines and short-circuited pin connecting between the ground plane and the patch. The total size of the proposed antenna is (24×32×2 mm3). The patch dimensions are (16×24 mm2). The calculated bandwidth at a return loss of-10 dB is 1MHz. The S-parameters, the near and far-fields, and the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the antenna is simulated and characterized. The design is carried out using CST Studio.
