A four spiral slots microstrip patch antenna for radiotelemetry capsules based on FDTD

Antenna is very crucial to radiotelemetry capsules which can measure the physiological parameters of the gastroin- testinal (GI) tract. The objective of this paper is to design a novel spiral slots microstrip patch antenna for the radiotelemetry capsules communicating with external recorder at 915 MHz located in ISM (Industry, Science, and Medical) bands. The microstrip patch antenna is designed and evaluated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Return loss characteristics and the effect of the human body on resonant frequency are analyzed, and the performances of radiation patterns at different positions of the human alimentary tract are also estimated. Finally, specific absorption rate (SAR) computations are performed, and the peak 1-g and 10-g SAR values are calculated. According to the peak SAR values, the maximum delivered power for the designed antenna was found so that the SAR values of the antenna satisfy the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) limitations.     

A novel and simple coplanar waveguide-fed planar monopole antenna for ultra-wideband applications

1 Introduction In recent years, the need for ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with an omni-directional coverage and compact antenna geometry increases in many applications, for example the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released the unlicensed freque…     

Static analysis of synchronism deployable antenna

INTRODUCTION Large antennas for space applications have some differences as compared to their counterparts de-signed and manufactured for ground usage. For a larger space antenna, the applied loads in space can be several orders of magnitude less than the gravity loading it is subjected to when being fabricated and assembled on the ground. Since the effect of gravity cannot be removed from any experimental verifica-tion performed on the ground, we must rely on the use of efficient and hig…
