Abstract :
Two different antennas for use in implanted pacemakers are analyzed by simulation and measurement. The analysis was made with an FDTD-code. The simulations and measurements show good agreement. The SAR values for both the antennas are within the limits recommended by ICNIRP when the antenna is fed with 25 uW.
