Microstrip patch antenna design for telemedicine application

Abstract

The study of microstrip patch antennas has made great progress in recent years. Com- pared with conventional antennas, microstrip patch antennas have more advantages and better prospects. They are lighter in weight, low volume, low cost, low pro le, smaller in dimension and ease of fabrication and conformity. Moreover, the microstrip patch an- tennas can provide dual and circular polarizations, dual-frequency operation, frequency agility, broad band-width, feedline exibility, beam scanning omnidirectional patterning. Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications technology as a medium to provide live, interactive audiovisual medical services for sites that are at a distance from the provider. Telemedicine and related healthcare technologies aim to provide e cient healthcare re- motely. The objective of this paper is to provide a better solution for telemedicine appli- cation. Various wireless technologies are used, but microstrip patch antenna is the best solution. In this paper microstrip patch antenna is designed. The design consists of mi- crostrip patch antenna. This antenna is simulated on High frequency structure simulation (HFSS).
