Abstract
An implantable low profile spiral-shaped meandered patch antenna is designed in this work exclusively for biomedical devices applications mainly for skin mimicking. The often-used frequency for biomedical applications for Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS) is 401–406 MHz and the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band of 2.4–2.48 GHz which is covered in this chapter. This antenna covers the frequency range of 405 MHz with a Reflection Coefficient of −45 dB, and a gain of 8 dB. The next range is at 2.45 GHz with a Reflection Coefficient of −36 dB and 7 dB gain. The constructed antenna is just 0.32 mm thick, with dimensions of 35 mm and 28 mm. To achieve this gain many iterations were carried out and finally eight step meandered antenna suits the preferred frequency band. The meandered antenna is used in this work because it gives a high Reflection Coefficient, gain and low losses compared to normal conventional microstrip patch antenna. Also, they occupy less space compared to the normal antenna with minimised size. This antenna is mainly used for skin contact applications and skin-mimicking adhesive applications.
