Abstract

In this communication, an innovative dual band microstrip patch antenna is proposed for Implantable Medical Devices (IMD). Particularly, the covered bands are MICS (402–405MHz) and ISM (2.4–2.48GHz). The antenna has a multilayer configuration where the feeding line and radiating layer are located at different levels. The radiating element of the antenna is a Split Ring Resonator (SRR) coupled to a Spiral. Both elements are short-circuited to the ground plane to achieve size reduction. In addition, the effects of human body geometry and dielectric properties are studied. Three models are investigated: single-layer, three-layer and a realistic human body based on the Voxel Man dataset.
