“…The conversion from an isotropic antenna to a halfwavelength dipole through the effective area is not totally accurate for regions close to the near-field, while for larger distances results converge. Another issue related to the measurements is the influence of the coaxial cable of the measurement setup in electrically small and implantable antennas, as reported in [44,45].…”

Abstract-Design and characterization of a multilayered compact implantable broadband antenna for wireless biotelemetry applications is presented in this paper. The main features of this novel design are miniaturized size, structure that allows integration of electronic circuits of the implantable medical device inside the antenna, and enhanced bandwidth that mitigates possible frequency detuning caused by heterogeneity of biological tissues. Using electromagnetic simulations based on the finite-difference timedomain method, the antenna geometry was optimized to operate in the 401-406 MHz Medical Device Radio communications service band. The proposed design was simulated implanted in a muscle tissue cuboid phantom and implanted in the arm, head, and chest of a high-resolution whole-body anatomical numerical model of an adult human male. The antenna was fabricated using low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology. Measurements validated simulation results for the antenna implanted in muscle tissue cuboid phantom. The proposed compact antenna, with dimensions of 14 mm × 16 mm × 2 mm, presented a −10 dB bandwidth of 103 MHz and 92 MHz for simulations and measurements, respectively. The proposed antenna allows integration of electronic circuit up to 10 mm × 10 mm × 0.5 mm. Specific absorption rate distributions, antenna input power, radiation pattern and the transmission channel between the proposed antenna and a half-wavelength dipole were evaluated.

Abstract-The design of miniaturized printed wire antennas using multilayer vias loaded periodic metallization is presented. The proposed structure is evolved from a periodic slow-wave transmission line, where each unit cell is made of a patch and two loops spread over two metal layers connected in series through vias. A section of the periodic metallization is used as a quarter-wave monopole antenna protruded over a truncated ground plane and fed by a microstrip line. The design prototype at 2.4 GHz band shows that it is possible to obtain 24% 10 dB bandwidth with 80% efficiency at an antenna length of 12 mm long without tuning inductors, more than a 50% reduction from a normal printed straight monopole.Index Terms-Electromagnetic band-gap, monopole antennas, slow wave structures, small antennas, wideband.

“…In recent years, the current trend in commercial and military communication systems has been to develop low cost, minimal weight, low profile planar configuration antennas ( [8], [9] and [10]) that are capable of maintaining high performance over a large spectrum of frequencies. This technological trend has focused much effort into the design of microstrip (patch) antennas.…”

Abstract-In this paper, a new system is proposed for microstrip antenna (MSA) designing. Two main stages need for designing procedure. Firstly, modeling of rectangular MSA is performed using some nonlinear regression methods. Then an inverse modeling is done using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with some constraints. Result includes a suitable system with bandwidth as an input and dimensions width, frequency range, length over a ground plane with a substrate thickness, dielectric loss tangent and electrical thickness as an output.
