Abstract

In this paper, a dual band implantable microstrip antenna is introduced for MICS and ISM band biomedical applications. The main radiating layer of the antenna consists of a small rectangular patch which is designed by etching three complementary split ring elements. Also, a shorting pin inserted between the patch and ground plane is used for the antenna miniaturization. The dimension of the antenna fed by a vertical probe is only 14x14x1.27 mm(3). The proposed complementary split-ring implantable antenna (CSRIA) provides 20% and 6% impedance bandwidth at the respective bands and exhibits uniform radiation patterns at each frequency band. Analysis and design of the proposed antenna is carried out by means of two simulators, namely Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and CST Microwave Studio. In the paper, numerical results for the proposed design are presented.
