Dual Band Implantable Antenna for Biomedical Telemetry Applications

This work presents a miniaturized dual band implantable antenna operating at the Medical Device Radiocommunications Service (MedRadio) and Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band which is designed for chest implantation applications, such as pacemakers. A broad bandwidth (BW) of 38.7MHz in the MedRadio band and 69.2MHz in the ISM band is achieved. The volume of the antenna is 29mm
³
and is designed inside a three-layer cubic phantom model, using the Ansoft HFSS suite software, based on Finite-Element method (FEM).
