Design and Analysis of an Implantable CPW-Fed X-Monopole Antenna for 2.45-GHz ISM Band Applications

Abstract

A novel antenna design that effectively covers the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band at 2.45 GHz using an X-shaped structure with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed is described. The antenna has a compact size of 67.6 mm(3). The proposed design is effective for ISM band biotelemetry with a wakeup controller (2.45 GHz). An experimental prototype of the compact implantable CPW-fed X-shaped monopole antenna was fabricated on a biocompatible alumina Al2O3 ceramic substrate. The optimal antenna was fabricated and tested in minced tissue from the front leg of a pig and on a human body phantom liquid. The simulated and measured bandwidths are 180 MHz and 210 MHz in the ISM band, respectively.

“…It helps in replacing almost all the wired system by its feature such as compact, lightweight, and capable of omnidirectional coverage. The theoretical and experimental works in different types of antenna are used for the development of mobile application, multiband operation, broad band operation, and biomedical application around the world is illustrated . Chien and Cheng proposed a new technique of the broadband nonsuperstrate implantable coplanar waveguide (CPW)‐fed ceramic antenna operating at the frequency band of (402–405 MHz) .…”
