On body e-shaped patch antenna for biomedical application

An E-shaped micro strip patch antenna is designed and analyzed in this paper which operates in MICS (402.0-406.0MHz) band. The Performance has been observed on a body of human phantom model as well as in free space with different conducting material for the designed antenna. The height of this antenna is taken 1.5mm from the ground plane. At resonance frequency of 405 MHz the S11 parameter is obtained in free space is -23.26dB for conducting material of aluminum and -17.96dB is measured on human phantom body at 405 MHz of resonance frequency. FR4 is used as substrate material. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is found to be 0.3562 W/kg by placing the antanna on human phantom model. VSWR and directivity has been analyzed also

Antenna design and fabrication for biotelemetry applications

This research work assumes the role of designing a Micro-strip patch antenna that exists with in the band range of 402 MHz to 405 MHz, which was considered as medical implantable communication systems (MICS) band and can be possibly implanted at human body phantom model because of its flexiblility and lower radiation characteristics. CST Microwave studio was used for designing the patch antenna and the human body phantom model with the existence of homogeneous layers (fat, skin and muscle) and the final version was fabricated. Being highly flexible, FR4 was chosen as a substrate to maintain 0.5 mm thickness throughout. For the ground and patch, copper material was selected having thickness of 0.018 mm. For the ease of fabrication and biocompatibility, silicon was selected with the thickness of being 8 mm. Maximum specific absorption rate of the proposed antenna was obtained 0.588 W/Kg for 10g tissue. Various Parameters such as VSWR, S11, Radiation efficiency, Total efficiency were found 1.1889, -21.28 dB, -45.71 dB, -45.74 dB respectively inside body phantom that ensure the antenna design was efficiently and effectively suitable for biotelemetry system which is body implantable. After fabrication the value of S11 is found -12.43 dB in open space with 453 MHz frequency

Challenges and Opportunities of Rooftop Solar PV Penetration to National Grid: Bangladesh Perspective

The electricity consumption in Bangladesh is higher than ever. A large number of people are still deprived of electricity and demand is rapidly increasing. In this scenario self-powering, our houses will be a great idea which will meet our daily demand. Here, we have discussed the challenges and opportunities of a bi-directional grid-connected rooftop solar power generation system which utilizes the enormous natural resources of solar. We have considered the free rooftop of our housing for power generation. Solar photovoltaicmodules areplaces upon the rooftop free space where sunlight is converted to electricitywhenmade fall on solar PV moduled. This generated electricity is used for self-powering houses and surpassed power will be delivered to the grid company. This system comes with numerous challenges, for example, designing an MPPT for maximizing the solar panel output, grid-tied inverter, investment security and many more. A Transformerless grid tie inverteris proposed which employs a new techniquecalled Dual-Stage Switch for Buck-Boost conversion. It swells the efficiency of the inverter up to 95%. A constant voltage based algorithm is designed to minimize conversion losses. The simulation results are analyzed through PSIM, PROTEUS, MATLAB software. The simulation results show that the rooftop solar energy system has the potential to meet the challenges of the power crises in Bangladesh where land and resources are limited

Design & Analysis of Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Different Dielectric Materials for WiMAX Communication System

This Paper presents Microstrip patch antenna for WiMAX communication system which operate at 5.8 GHz frequency band. The main objective of this paper is to design and observe the performance of the designed microstrip patch antenna for different dielectric materials. The size of the designed antenna has been also miniaturized. Better performance is observed for FR4 and dupont-951 dielectric material. For FR4 radiation efficiency is-2.776 dB and total efficiency is -3.026 dB at 5.8 GHz, this indicates better performance. And for dupont-951 the return loss is much lower comparing to the other dielectric materials used in this research, which is -16.609 dB. Also for dupont-951 and FR4, VSWR is found 1.35 and 1.7 respectively which is desirable. Also the size of the antenna has been reduced. In this paper we also observed and analyzed the radiation pattern of far field region, gain, radiation efficiency and total efficiency for different dielectric materials
