DESIGN OF PIFA ANTENNA FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

The emerging techniques in the medical field include the use of bio implantable antennas to diagnose the diseases. The major disadvantage of these techniques is the side-effects caused by the radiations in the human body. There have been a lot of advancements in this area to reduce the radiation emitted. One among them is the use of PIFA antenna inside an indestructible capsule (Polyetheretherketones) which is helpful in both short and long range communications. The workincludes the design of PIFA antenna using IE3D and MATLAB software. The characteristics of the antenna are analyzed with the aim to reduce the size and radiation effect of antenna and to increase thegain, efficiency and data rate.
