Download or read book Design and Analysis of Miniaturized Implantable and Wearable Microstrip Antennas written by Omar Abdulsamad Ibrahim and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an increasing effort by hospitals, doctors and healthcare service providers to cut down the ever increasing cost of health care. One area of research in this field is the development of the MBAN system, which enables patient monitoring remotely thus saving costs in hospital stay, doctor visits etc. One area of research is the development of implantable and wearable antennas as a part of MBAN that could be used by saving their collected data in PDAs or any portable device or mainframe computers. In this work, two antenna types, the wearable and the implantable antennas are researched for MBAN applications. The antenna is designed using two different commercial software packages, CST Microwave Studio and HFSS, to validate the results. The first proposed embedded antenna design operates in the WMTS frequency band (608-614 MHz). The antenna performance is tested inside the human body model. The design is later readjusted to get the desired resonant frequency to account for the losses in the body dielectric. The resonant frequency, bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern of the proposed antenna are provided in this research. In addition, an array of two antennas of the same type has been proposed to increase the system reliability and robustness. The wearable antenna proposed is a Vivaldi shaped Lotus antenna. The antenna was designed using the same software (CST Microwave Studio). The antenna is both multi and broad band. In addition, the antenna can be used for the free allocated band for wide band applications. A flare feeding technique has been used to feed the antenna and meet impedance matching for wide bandwidth. Analysis with bendable materials and different schemes for ground plane, including partial and metamaterials grounds, and flare angles has resulted in an optimized design for the wearable antenna type. Both the antenna design can be used as components for the MBAN systems for medical applications, and can also be used in the commercial and defense sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in electrical engineering have let the realization of small size electrical systems for in-body applications. Today's hybrid implantable systems combine radio frequency and biosensor technologies. The biosensors are intended for wireless medical monitoring of the physiological parameters such as glucose, pressure, temperature etc. Enabling wireless communication with these biosensors is vital to allow continuous monitoring of the patients over a distance via radio frequency (RF) technology. Because the implantable antennas provide communication between the implanted device and the external environment, their efficient design is vital for overall system reliability. However, antenna design for implantable RF systems is a quite challenging problem due to antenna miniaturization, biocompatibility with the body's physiology, high losses in the tissue, impedance matching, and low-power requirements. This dissertation presents design and measurement techniques of implantable antennas for medical wireless telemetry. A robust stochastic evolutionary optimization method, particle swarm optimization (PSO), is combined with an in-house finite-element boundary-integral (FE-BI) electromagnetic simulation code to design optimum implantable antennas using topology optimization. The antenna geometric parameters are optimized by PSO, and a fitness function is computed by FE-BI simulations to evaluate the performance of each candidate solution. For validating the robustness of the algorithm, in-vitro and in-vivo measurement techniques are also introduced. To illustrate this design methodology, two implantable antennas for wireless telemetry applications are considered. First, a small-size dual medical implant communications service (MICS) (402 MHz - 405 MHz) and industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) (2.4 GHz - 2.48 GHz) band implantable antenna for human body is designed, followed by a dual band implantable antenna operating also in MICS and ISM bands for animal studies. In order to test the designed antennas in-vitro, materials mimicking the electrical properties of human and rat skins are developed. The optimized antennas are fabricated and measured in the materials. Moreover, the second antenna is in-vivo tested to observe the effects of the live tissue on the antenna performance. Simulation and measurement results regarding antenna parameters of the designed antennas such as return loss and radiation pattern are given and discussed in detail. The development details of the tissue-mimicking materials are also presented.

Download or read book Inductive Powering written by Koenraad van Schuylenbergh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-31 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inductive powering has been a reliable and simple method for many years to wirelessly power devices over relatively short distances, from a few centimetres to a few feet. Examples are found in biomedical applications, such as cochlear implants; in RFID, such as smart cards for building access control; and in consumer devices, such as electrical toothbrushes. Device sizes shrunk considerably the past decades, demanding accurate design tools to obtain reliable link operation in demanding environments. With smaller coil sizes, the link efficiency drops dramatically to a point where the commonly used calculation methods become invalid. Inductive Powering: Basic Theory and Application to Biomedical Systems lists all design equations and topology alternatives to successfully build an inductive power and data link for your specific application. It also contains practical guidelines to expand the external driver with a servomechanism that automatically tunes itself to varying coupling and load conditions.
