Abstract :
In this paper, Coplanar Waveguide fed dual V-shaped Implantable monopole antenna for biomedical applications is proposed. The antenna has a simple structure with low profile and is placed on human tissues like Muscle, Fat and Skin. The designed antenna is made compatible for implantation by embedding it in a FR4 substrate. The proposed antenna is simulated using the method of moment´s software IE3D by assuming the predetermined dielectric constant for the human muscle tissue, fat and skin. The antenna works in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical Band (900-915 MHz and 2.4-2.48 GHz). Simulated maximum gains attain -23dBi and -19.5dBi in the two desired frequency ranges of 903MHz and 2.43GHz respectively. The antenna parameters such as radiation pattern, return loss, VSWR, current distribution and gain of these antennas were examined and characterized.
