DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MICROWAVE ANTENNA FOR ISM BAND APPLICATIONS

Abstract

This paper presents the design and optimization of a compact antenna operating in the ISM band, specifically aimed at medical applications such as wireless patient monitoring, implantable and wearable health devices. With the growing demand for real-time data transmission in healthcare, the proposed antenna offers a reliable and efficient solution for short-range wireless communication. The design emphasizes a low-profile, biocompatible structure with stable radiation performance and minimized Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) to ensure patient safety. Simulations and analysis were conducted to evaluate key parameters including return loss, VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern, ensuring compatibility with medical-grade wireless standards. The results confirm that the antenna provides robust connectivity and is well-suited for integration into medical telemetry systems, remote diagnostics, and body sensor networks. Further, the results are expected to contribute to the development of AI-assisted medical diagnostics, improving early detection and treatment planning.
