Abstract
Biomedical implanted devices are typically used for interacting with organs and/or for investigating various physiological signals. Hence, enhanced performance devices for clinical uses have got the attention of researchers. In this study, a multi-band implanted microstrip antenna suitable for transmitting/receiving biomedical signals in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands is presented. The antenna is built on a bio-compatible substrate, as titanium dioxide (TiO2) with relative permittivity of 95. The ground plane is thought to be a bio-metallic implant located within a bone. The proposed antenna is compact in size, 14 × 18 × 1.6 mm3, and works in both 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz centered frequency bands. It is designed and optimized considering the actual biological tissues as bone, muscle, fat, and skin surroundings. The simulation results referring to a planar stratification prove that the multiband single microstrip antenna is working properly within the human body and it can be used for medical communication services.
