Abstract

The objective of this letter is to design a radiation-pattern reconfigurable antenna that operates at the Medical Device Radio communications Service band (MedRadio band: 401-406 MHz) for medical implants. By spiraling a monopole, an antenna miniaturization is accomplished. Two artificial switches are employed to perform a radiation-pattern reconfigurable property. The proposed antenna has dimensions of 28mm× 11.5mm × 0.6mm (193.2mm³ and utilizes substrate (FR4ε_r=4.4. A one-layer skin model (ε_r =46.74, σ =0.69S/m) is adopted for the antenna simulation and in vitro test.
