Implantable Antenna

Implantable antenna devices have made great progress for healthcare services. Amongst the overall components of the implantable device, the antenna is the most important component that exists; it used to transmit the biological data wirelessly from inside the human body tissues to an external receiver. However, the human body tissues’ surrounding the antenna decrease the performance of the radiation antenna device, change its characteristics and absorbs most of its radiation. It also limits the size of the implantable device and its battery. Therefore, the design of the implanted antenna inside the human body requires many challenges while meeting many contradictory design parameters at the same time. Therefore, in this research, we mainly focused our spotlight on investigating and designing new antenna structures with robust performance against the human body tissue effect. In this research work, we presented two designs of a dual-band microstrip patch implantable antenna to operate ((401-406 MHz) Medical Device Radio-Communications (MedRadio), 433MHZ 2.45 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands, respectively. This is to satisfy the requirements of data transfer, power saving and wireless power transfer. The first design in this paper is a new shape of microstrip patch implantable antennas with meandered serpentine slot, with a single feed point. This shape of design allows us to increase the length of the current path in order to decrease the antenna size and covers MICS and ISM bands with new dimensions of (31 x 25 x 1.63) mm, the measured frequencies range we obtained it’s from 378MHz to 450 MHz (17.3%) at the lower band and from 2.46 to 2.68 GHz (8.56%) at the upper band for 𝑆11 less than -10 dB. The second simulated design is a compact dual-band Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) with Open-End Slots on ground with dimensions of (19.8x19.4x1.27) mm the measured frequencies from 325MHz to 407MHzrange at the lower band and from 2.412GHz to 2.482GHz for PIFA antenna, the designs of both antennae constructed and measured using CST and HFSS simulation and measurement setup. We also explained and demonstrated the performance of these antenna designs and the effect of human body tissue on antenna parameters, based on the reflection coefficient in normal and bent conditions.

Implantable Antenna

Implantable antennas are mandatory to transfer data from implants to the external world wirelessly. Smart implants can be used to monitor and diagnose the medical conditions of the patient. The dispersion of the dielectric constant of the tissues and variability of organ structures of the human body absorb most of the antenna radiation. Consequently, implanting an antenna inside the human body is a very challenging task. The design of the antenna is required to fulfill several conditions, such as miniaturization of the antenna dimension, biocompatibility, the satisfaction of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), and efficient radiation characteristics. The asymmetric hostile human body environment makes implant antenna technology even more challenging. This paper aims to summarize the recent implantable antenna technologies for medical applications and highlight the major research challenges. Also, it highlights the required technology and the frequency band, and the factors that can affect the radio frequency propagation through human body tissue. It includes a demonstration of a parametric literature investigation of the implantable antennas developed. Furthermore, fabrication and implantation methods of the antenna inside the human body are summarized elaborately. This extensive summary of the medical implantable antenna technology will help in understanding the prospects and challenges of this technology.

Synthetic Work

Hydroxyapatite bioceramics has attracted many material scientists as it is the main constituent of the bone and the teeth in human body. The synthesis of the bioceramics has been performed for years. Nowadays, the synthetic work is not only focused on the hydroapatite but also on the fluorapatite and chlorapatite bioceramics since later materials have also biological compatibility with human tissues; and they may also be very promising for clinic purpose. However, in comparison of the synthetic bioceramics with natural one on microstructure, a great differences were observed according to our previous results. We have investigated these differences further in this work since they are very important to appraise the synthetic bioceramics for their clinic application.The synthetic hydroxyapatite and chlorapatite were prepared according to A. Krajewski and A. Ravaglioli and their recent work. The briquettes from different hydroxyapatite or chlorapatite powders were fired in a laboratory furnace at the temperature of 900-1300°C. The samples of human enamel selected for the comparison with synthetic bioceramics were from Chinese adult teeth.

Important Basis

This is a combined study of two diffirent branches, photogrammetry and morphology of blood cells. The three dimensional quantitative analysis of erythrocytes using SEMP technique, electron computation technique and photogrammetry theory has made it possible to push the study of mophology of blood cells from LM, TEM, SEM to a higher stage, that of SEM P. A new path has been broken for deeply study of morphology of blood cells.In medical view, the abnormality of the quality and quantity of erythrocytes is one of the important changes of blood disease. It shows the abnormal blood—making function of the human body. Therefore, the study of the change of shape on erythrocytes is the indispensable and important basis of reference in the clinical diagnosis and research of blood disease.The erythrocytes of one normal person, three PNH Patients and one AA patient were used in this experiment. This research determines the following items: Height;Length of two axes (long and short), ratio; Crevice in depth and width of cell membrane; Circumference of erythrocytes; Isoline map of erythrocytes; Section map of erythrocytes.
