Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 136, 113-121, 2023
Abstract
In this paper, an ultra-miniaturized, planar dual-band wearable antenna is proposed for bio-telemetry applications. The proposed antenna covers the 433 MHz and 915 MHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands with a compact volume of 0.000000384λ03. The antenna consists of a meander line on the top side of the substrate, while the backside is loaded with an inductive grid structure to achieve miniaturization. Moreover, the absence of vias in the design of the antenna offers a significant benefit in terms of simplifying the fabrication process. The design approach considers the integration of other components for device-level architecture. The antenna exhibits stable performance when placed on different human body parts, such as the head and hand. The evaluated specific absorption rate (SAR) complies with the regulated human safety standard. Additionally, the link margin (LM) calculation shows that the antenna could establish a biotelemetry communication link at a distance of 20 meters.
