Abstract
Efforts to promote patients’ quality of life through advanced healthcare technology are increasingly focusing on implantable wireless biomedical telemetry systems, particularly on the development of compact, multifunctional implantable antennas. These antennas enable continuous medical monitoring and support various functions such as data transmission, wireless power transfer (WPT), and control signals across multiple frequency bands. This article reviews the challenges and recent advances in miniature multiband antennas for brain implants, with a comparative analysis of three planar inverted-F antennas (PIFAs) designs, dual band, triple band, and quad band, as case studies evaluated under the same metrics as the surveyed literature.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
