Abstract
Conference Title: 2018 18th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM) Conference Start Date: 2018, Aug. 19 Conference End Date: 2018, Aug. 22 Conference Location: Waterloo, ON, Canada This paper presents a wideband cavity backed antenna for continuous brain temperature monitoring through passive microwave radiometry. The proposed antenna has a diameter of 20 mm and height of 4.56 mm operating between 2.723–5.032 GHz. The antenna structure consists of a triple slotted square patch with hexagonal shape that is matched to a human head phantom. The SAR analysis shows that the antenna is capable of receiving microwave energy from deep brain and as an enabling component, it is suitable for a wearable brain temperature sensing system.
