In this study, design and the numerical analysis of a dual band (MICS (Medical Implant Communications Service; 402-405MHz) and ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical; 2.4-2.48GHz)) implantable antenna which is planned to be inserted in the header of the medical device is presented. The proposed medical implantable antenna (MIA) is in the type of planar inverted F Antenna (PIFA). For miniaturization, the metallic patch of the antenna is meandered and a shorting-pin is used between the patch and ground plane. Numerical analysis of the implant antenna is carried out using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software. It is showed that return losses in the MICS and ISM band is lower than -10 dB and the gain of the antenna is consistent with the gain characteristics of the microstrip antennas.

The fully implantable cochlear implant (FICI) interface circuit proposed in this work senses sound harmonics from 8 different piezoelectric cantilever sensors, and generates pulse width modulated biphasic current outputs to stimulate the auditory neurons. Signals from the piezoelectric sensors are amplified, rectified, and sampled. The sampled voltage is held and converted to current by a novel logarithmic voltage-to-current converter. The current is then digitized with a current comparator to determine the...

Önder, Mustafa Caner; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
In this thesis study, the design, fabrication and measurements of dualband and triband circularly polarized microstrip antennas for GPS applications are presented. Characteristic mode analysis technique is applied to get an insight into circularly polarized patch antennas. A design flow is presented for a circularly polarized L1 GPS band microstrip antenna by using characteristic mode analysis. A single fed L1/L2 GPS band right hand circularly polarized four-slotted patch antenna is designed by using reacti...
