Design and Analysis of Optimum Performance Pacemaker Telemetry Antenna
Abstract: The demand for
health technology is increasing especially in the telemetry applications. These
applications generally use implanted antennas to be utilized for data transfer
from patients to other reader devices. This procedure can make the health care
more efficient since it provides fast diagnosis and treatment to the patient.
Therefore, in order to effectively implement an implanted antenna inside thehuman
body, thorough numerical analysis and simulations are required prior to the
fabrication of antenna. In this work, an implanted antenna has been proposed to
be designed at 402.5MHz within the biomedical frequency band of 402- 405MHz. By
introducing a compact loop antenna for telemetry applications in a Pacemaker, a
number of advantages can be achieved for health care such as efficient data
information and quick diagnosis. Moreover, in this work an investigation of
compact loop antenna with casing in Pacemaker has been carried out by placing
the antenna inside the phantom of human body model.
