Abstract :
To characterize the performance of implantable biomedical devices, the interactions between the devices and the human body need to be properly assessed. Specifically, wireless telemetry systems for biomedical applications require a reliable communication link between the interior device and the exterior equipment for exchange of required data and information. This paper mainly deals with the implantable antennas embedded on the head telemeter. To generate parametric data, the electromagnetic scattering analysis is confined to the human head and dipole antennas.
