• [...]in order to effectively implement an implanted antenna inside the human body, thorough numerical analysis and simulations are required prior to the fabrication of antenna. By introducing a compact loop antenna for telemetry applications in a Pacemaker, a number of advantages can be achieved for health care such as efficient data information and quick diagnosis. [...]in this work an investigation of compact loop antenna with casing in Pacemaker has been carried out by placing the antenna inside the phantom of human body model. The use of antenna technology on the human body with significant innovative features allows possible solutions for multi-purpose applications such as tracking systems, mobile communications systems, defense systems and healthcare applications [6-9]. The increasing growth in use of Body Area Networks (BANs), Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), and medical sensors has eved an interest in wearable antennas in order to improve the quality of life [10-13]. The resonant characteristic of the designed antenna have been simulated by using phantom box (consisting of the skin tissues). [...]in this work a telemetry antenna is developed to achieve compact size, lighter weight and low interference with other devices. [...]the effect of the presence of human body and the active implanted medical devices on the antenna performance is studied which helps in the characterization of the implantable antenna design. 2.Proposed Antenna Design In order to investigate the effect of pacemaker inside human body and also to other devices, the pacemaker has been represented as telemetry antenna to be embedded in the...
