Abstract

Two types of miniaturized circularly polarized (CP) implantable antennas are tested in a rat to investigate the effects of the live tissue on the antenna performance. The two implantable antennas are designed for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) (2.4-2.48 GHz) biomedical applications. The first implantable helical antenna is initially designed in a one-layer muscle phantom for ingestible capsule endoscope systems. The second implantable patch antenna is designed in a one-layer skin phantom for wireless implantable devices with a fixed implant position. The footprint of the proposed antennas are π × (5.5)2 × 3.81 mm3 and 10 × 10 × 1.27 mm3, respectively. The two antennas were surgically implanted into the rat at Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology. The measured results in the rat were compared to the simulated ones in the one-layer phantom to evaluate the sensitivity of the antennas. © 2002-2011 IEEE.
