Development of Patch Textile Antenna for Medical Robots

Abstract

This paper describes the use of application Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique of computational modeling for development and simulation patch textile antennas for microwave radiometry. The motivation for this work focuses on the development of this new miniature antenna for medical robots. Slot patch textile antenna was selected as optimum using not less than 450 MHz bandwidth and center frequency 3,8 GHz. The new sensor was tested and validated on different phantoms and biological tissues. Results suggest sufficient characteristics of new antenna for potential use in medicine and robotics.
