Abstract :
Implanted biomedical devices have been potentially used in many applications to make a better medical environment. Various diseases are being detected, monitored and treated by the help of implantable bio-devices. Currently, there are several implantable devices that have been proposed in medical applications, such as retinal prosthesis, glaucoma monitoring, cochlear implants, cardiac pacemaker and implantable cardiac defibrillators. This project deals with the design of antenna for teeth implantable device, which performs the measurement and monitor of temperature by sensing the basal body temperature (BBT). This work focuses mainly on the design of an implantable novel antenna for a bio-device that is fully wireless and implantable. This simple architecture provides a hybrid design that involves a high-efficiency antenna, which is used to send the signal wirelessly by means of MedRadio band. The resonant frequency for the Archimedean spiral antenna has been acquired at 314 MHz, to obtain a broadband design. The above frequency of the antenna obtained for the implantable bio-device is simulated and verified through our results.
