Abstract
The purpose of this study is to design a low-cost planar Archimedean dipole antenna for batteryless
transcranial direct current stimulation devices. The antenna
parameters including resonance frequency, radiation efficiency,
radiation pattern, and gain are simulated using finite difference
time domain based electromagnetic simulation software XFdtd.
The proposed antenna is simulated with low-cost FR4 PCB
substrate of thickness of 1.6 mm. The antenna is designed with
half wavelength of resonant frequency and fed with a matching
line. The target frequency band is the industrial, scientific and
medical (ISM) band of 915 MHz which is in the simulated band
width of 31 MHz (903-934MHz). Moreover, since the bio-effect
of specific absorption rate by radio frequency electromagnetic
wave for power harvesting is an important concern, we try to
find out the safety limit. Thus a quantitative analysis of
distributions of electric field and power absorption in
anatomical human head model by the far field radio frequency
energy received by our designed antenna has been presented.
