Abstract

For realizing high-speed implant communications, ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission is one of the promising candidates. In this paper, an UWB transmitter diversity antenna was presented, and then the fundamental performances were numerically and experimentally evaluated. In addition, this paper discussed the path loss performance in an implant communication link a living animal. Consequently, the communication performance improvement by the implant side polarization diversity with the antenna developed in this study was evaluated and discussed. Our evaluation results demonstrated that the developed antenna can improve the communication performance by 7 dB to establish an outage rate of 0.01.
