Electrically Small Spiral PIFA for Deep Implantable Devices

Abstract: In this paper, a miniaturized implantable circularly polarized spiral Planar Inverted-F Antenna (SPIFA) in the UHF (600-800 MHz) band is presented. This antenna is intended for deep implantable devices such as leadless pacemakers and deep brain stimulation (DBS), which facilitates the reception of RF power from an external transmitter. The antenna is electrically small, with a volume of π× 5 mm × 5 mm × 3.2 mm and a diameter of 0.022λ. The performance of the proposed antenna in terms of reflection coefficient,… Show more

“…Through WBAN, communication and data synchronization can take place to complete the other communication networks, such as wireless sensor networks and mobile communication networks [ 1 , 2 , 6 , 7 ]. An important application of WBAN is in healthcare, where the body area network can transmit physiological information obtained from patients through various physiological sensors, such as blood pressure, blood sugar concentration, temperature, weight, and heartbeat [ 1 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] to the hospital’s medical monitoring equipment or the user’s personal mobile terminal [ 11 ]. In entertainment, a personal media device with high speed communication capability will enable augmented/virtual/mixed reality interaction with users, and wirelessly communicate with a device such as glasses [ 12 ] or headset [ 13 ].…”

“…In military applications, wearable antennas can provide personal positioning and mobile communication through helmets [4,5]. In healthcare, wearable antennas can monitor physiological information, such as blood pressure, blood glucose concentration, temperature, weight, and heartbeat [6][7][8]. These applications face limitations due to electromagnetic coupling between the human body and the antenna, changing physical deformations, highly variable operating environments, and manufacturing processes [9][10][11].…”

“…Due to the limitations of space in implantable devices, how to maintain antenna dual-band and broadband while reducing the space occupied by the antenna is the top priority. Some miniaturization techniques, such as high dielectric constant substrate [14], [15], meandered line [16], spiral line [10], opening slot [17], and adding shorting pins [18], as well as stacked antennas [19], are used to reduce the space. However, these miniaturization technologies usually bring difficulties to the antenna design and production process and still occupy the limited space.…”
