Osseointegration analysis of skull implants using microstrip fed split ring resonator antenna

A microwave technique for skull implant curing analysis is presented here. A microstrip antenna is used for osseointegration analysis with respect to the dielectric profile variation of the implant. The bone and implant gives a high degree of discrimination in resonant frequency of reflection coefficient. The prototype is designed to retain the impedance matching at all implant conditions and even in normal phantom. The antennas simulated on three different substrates layers are fabricated and concept is experimentally verified with phantom models.
