Compact Implantable Antenna Design for Leadless Cardiac Pacemaker System

Brown, Murray; Sun, Hongjian

Abstract

This paper details an implantable antenna for leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) applications operating in the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) frequency band (2.4-2.48GHz). The antenna uses a shorting pin to achieve an improved simulated 10dB fractional bandwidth of 20%, compared to similar literature designs. It implements a spiral-shaped meander pattern in an ultra-compact 3×3×0.5 mm 3 footprint. The calculated maximum specific absorption rate (SAR) values comply with IEEE C95.1-2005 and C95.1-1999 safety guidelines.
