A NOVEL APPROACH TO DESIGNING MINIATURIZED MICROSTRIP ANTENNAS FOR WEARABLE AND IMPLANTABLE BIOMEDICAL DEVICES

Abstract:- The fast development of the Internet of Medical Things has significantly change a paradigm shift in healthcare, by enabling continuous and remote monitoring of the patient instead of hospital-based treatments. At the heart of this transformation lie wearable and implantable devices which play an important role to detect early detection of health issues. To ensure reliable communication and data transmission it require robust, efficient, and miniaturized antenna systems. This thesis focus on the design, optimization, and implementation of highperformance antennas that can function reliability within the complex electromagnetic environments of the human body. For the long term operation and patient safety use of biocompatible material is important. The primary challenge in this research addressed the electromagnetic interaction between the antenna and lossy human tissues. Wearable antennas placed in the proximity of the body or in the body leads to impedance mismatch, shift in operating frequency, and the heat absorbed by the biological tissue. Implantable antenna even face more difficulty due to the size limitation heat absorption by the tissue. Characteristics of the antenna are highly influenced by the high permittivity and conductivity of the biological tissue .
