Abstract

Monitor of intracranial pressure (ICP) system is a life-saving instrument that monitors changes in brain pressure in real time. To implement wireless data transfer, antenna is an indispensable device. In this paper, an implantable antenna is designed with circularly polarized, wideband and compact in size to adapt the application of the ICP monitoring system. First, a one-layer human skin model to verify the basic characteristics of this antenna; and then a multilayered human head model is built to demonstrate the system performance of the designed antenna. In addition, we also considered the human safety to calculate the specific absorption rate value of the proposed antenna. The antenna can transmit different rates over to 1.5 m distance verified by the wireless communication link, which proved it has a good transitions characteristic. Finally, the sample of the antenna is fabricated and tested with help of fresh minced pork. Experiment results shows the antenna with a good property in the ICP monitoring system, as well as other remote medical telemetry system.
