[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.
[0045] Figure 1 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an implantable medical device Bluetooth antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the implantable medical device Bluetooth antenna includes:
[0046] A vertical first straight antenna segment 1, the upper end of which is connected to one end of a first arc-shaped antenna segment 2; the other end of the first arc-shaped antenna segment 2 is connected to one end of a horizontal second straight antenna segment 3, the other end of the second straight antenna segment 3 is connected to one end of a second arc-shaped antenna segment 4; the Bluetooth antenna is packaged for implantation in the human body.
[0047] Furthermore, the length of the first linear antenna segment 1 is 2.58 mm; the length of the first arc-shaped antenna segment 2 and the second arc-shaped antenna segment 4 is 3.14 mm; and the length of the second linear antenna segment 3 is 3.2 mm.
[0048] The Bluetooth antenna is made of biocompatible material MP35N, and the Bluetooth antenna is packaged with medical silicone or biocompatible polymer material Polyurethane.
[0049] Specifically, MP35N is a flexible substrate material with good biocompatibility, low toxicity, good mechanical and chemical properties, and can adapt to the long-term implantation environment inside the human body. The Bluetooth antenna adopts the above structure, which can increase the effective electrical length of the antenna in a limited space, thereby improving the antenna gain. The Bluetooth antenna is encapsulated and encapsulated with medical silicone or biocompatible polymer material Polyurethane, which can protect the Bluetooth antenna to a certain extent, prevent it from directly contacting human tissue and causing adverse reactions, and also play a certain role in insulation and isolation.
[0050] The Bluetooth antenna adopts a coplanar waveguide feeding method, and the transmission line of the Bluetooth antenna and the ground plane are located in the same plane; the feeding line of the Bluetooth antenna includes an impedance matching network, and the impedance matching network includes a capacitor connected in series with the Bluetooth antenna and an inductor connected in parallel with the Bluetooth antenna; the inductor is grounded, and the capacitor is connected to the circuit board; the ground plane is the shell that encapsulates the Bluetooth antenna; the line width of the Bluetooth antenna feeder is 0.38mm; the inductor is 3nH; the capacitor is 1pF; the input impedance and output impedance of the Bluetooth antenna are 50Ω.
[0051] Among them, the 0.38mm Bluetooth antenna feeder line width can achieve good impedance matching.

[0053] The other end of the second arc-shaped antenna segment 4 is connected to a vertical third linear antenna segment 5. Figure 1 The Bluetooth antenna in the antenna increases the effective electrical length of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna gain. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, they are Figure 3 The return loss, gain, and efficiency graph of the Bluetooth antenna in human tissue is shown. Figure 4 This indicates that the Bluetooth antenna has S11 < -10 dB in the required frequency band, making the transmission efficiency of the Bluetooth signal itself greater than 90%. Figure 5 This indicates that the Bluetooth antenna has the highest gain and the best radiation at a specific frequency. Figure 6 This shows that the total efficiency of Bluetooth antennas through the skin remains above 2.57%, which is a significant improvement compared to other antennas with a total efficiency of less than 1%. The Bluetooth antenna optimization solution reduces the antenna height by 2mm in structure, and its overall performance is better than that of other manufacturers.

[0055] The other end of the third linear antenna segment 5 is connected in sequence to the fourth linear antenna segment 6 and the fifth linear antenna segment 7. Figure 3 The Bluetooth antenna in the PCB further increases the effective electrical length of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna gain.
[0056] like Figure 8 As shown, the other end of the fifth straight antenna segment 7 is connected to one end of the third arc-shaped antenna segment 8 ; the third arc-shaped antenna segment 8 is parallel to the second arc-shaped antenna segment 4 .
[0057] The other end of the fifth linear antenna segment 7 is connected to the third arc-shaped antenna segment 8. Figure 7 The Bluetooth antenna in the PCB further increases the effective electrical length of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna gain.
[0058] like Fig. 9 As shown, the other end of the second arc antenna segment 4 is connected to one end of the sixth straight antenna segment 9, and the other end of the sixth straight antenna segment 9 is connected to one end of the fourth arc antenna segment 10; the fourth arc antenna segment 10 is parallel to the second arc antenna segment 4.
[0059] The other end of the third arc-shaped antenna segment 8 is connected to the sixth straight line 9 antenna segment. Figure 8 The Bluetooth antenna in the PCB further increases the effective electrical length of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna gain.
[0060] like Fig.10 As shown, the other end of the fourth arc-shaped antenna segment 10 is connected to one end of the seventh straight line antenna segment 11 ; the seventh straight line antenna segment 11 is parallel to the second straight line antenna segment 3 .
[0061] The other end of the fourth arc-shaped antenna segment 10 is connected to the seventh straight antenna segment 11. Fig. 9 The Bluetooth antenna in the , further increases the effective electrical length of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna gain. Figures 11 to 13 As shown, they are Fig.10 The return loss, gain, and efficiency graph of the Bluetooth antenna in human tissue is shown. Figures 11 to 13 This is a comprehensive simulation image after the overall length of the Bluetooth antenna is increased by 6.6mm. Fig.11 It shows that the Bluetooth antenna has S11 < -12.78dB in the working frequency band. Fig. 9 The radiation efficiency of Bluetooth increases at the resonance point. Fig.12 This indicates that the gain of the Bluetooth antenna at a specific frequency is 7.13i, compared to Fig. 9 The gain is high and the radiation is outstanding. Fig.13 This shows that the total efficiency of Bluetooth antenna through the skin remains above 2.84%. Fig. 9 The Bluetooth antenna has been improved by 0.3%.
[0062] like Fig.14 As shown, the other end of the seventh straight antenna segment 11 is connected to one end of the fifth arc-shaped antenna segment 12 ; the fifth arc-shaped antenna segment 12 is parallel to the first arc-shaped antenna segment 2 .

[0065] The other end of the fifth arc-shaped antenna segment 12 is connected to the eighth straight antenna segment 13. Fig.14 The Bluetooth antenna in the PCB further increases the effective electrical length of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna gain.
[0066] In actual operation, the size and position of the Bluetooth antenna can be adjusted to adjust the resonant frequency and bandwidth generated by the Bluetooth antenna in the communication frequency band (for example, 2.4GHz-2.48GHz) to adapt to different communication needs and changes in the human tissue environment; specifically, Fig.16 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a resonance adjustment method of a Bluetooth antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application; Fig.16 As shown, the method includes:
[0067] Step 1610: Create a human body model in the CST software to simulate the working condition of the Bluetooth antenna in the human body.
[0068] CST software, full name CST Studio Suite, is a high-performance 3D electromagnetic simulation software package developed by CST of Germany. The software integrates multiple electromagnetic field solvers for designing, analyzing and optimizing electromagnetic (EM) components and systems, and is widely used in the field of electromagnetic field simulation.
[0069] CST software plays a major role in the design and analysis of Bluetooth antennas. It can model and simulate Bluetooth antennas and design Bluetooth antennas of different structures. It supports 3D electromagnetic field simulation, can accurately simulate and analyze the return loss (S11) of the antenna, calculate the gain and directional pattern of the antenna, evaluate the radiation characteristics of the antenna at different frequencies, and optimize the design. There is a more accurate human body model in the software. After the Bluetooth antenna is implanted in the human body, the size of the Bluetooth antenna in the human body, the dielectric spacing, etc. can be adjusted through parameter scanning and optimization functions to further optimize the return loss (S11).
[0070] like Fig.17 As shown in the figure, a human body model is established in the CST software; Fig.18 As shown, the human body model in CST simulates the working conditions of the Bluetooth antenna in the human body.
[0071] like Fig.17 As shown in the figure, the process of establishing a human body model is as follows: first, the built-in human body model is called in the CST software. The human body simulation structure 3D is considered to use a simplified version of the structure because the original complete structure is complex; the implantation reference point is located on the outside of the skin, and the antenna implantation depth moves 8mm downward along the w axis. The entire upper left chest part, including skin, fat, heart, and pectoral muscle, has an implantation depth of 8mm; then, the materials of each part of the implant are configured. The implant is divided into Bluetooth antenna, epoxy resin antenna cap, PCB motherboard, copper foil, and shell from top to bottom. Material parameter configuration is an important condition for establishing the model. The parameter configuration table is shown in Table 1 below; then, the parameters of various parts of the human body are configured, mainly the electrical parameters of the human body tissue, and the configuration results are shown in Table 2 below; after the parameter configuration is completed, the boundary conditions and excitation ports are assigned through the software, as shown in Fig. 22The design position of the excitation port is shown; finally, set the solution method and sweep mode, and select the command to start simulation in the software. After the simulation is completed in the software, CST will pop up the S11 parameters and gain curve, and the data can be analyzed.
[0072] The solved model and software interface are as follows Fig. 22 As shown in the figure, after adding the human body simulation model Fig.18 shown.

[0076] Table 2
[0077] Step 1620: Adjust the size and position of the Bluetooth antenna to adjust the resonance generated by the Bluetooth antenna in the Bluetooth communication frequency band.
[0078] Among them, Fig.19 As shown, the height of the Bluetooth antenna can be reduced by 5 mm; and the length of the Bluetooth antenna can be reduced by 6.6 mm.
[0079] After adjusting the resonant frequency and bandwidth of the Bluetooth antenna in the communication frequency band (for example: 2.4GHz-2.48GHz), the Bluetooth antenna can also be evaluated. Specifically, Fig. 20 As shown, the evaluation method includes the following steps 2010 and 2020:
[0080] Step 2010: Perform human tissue simulation using CST software to determine the absorption of radiation from the Bluetooth antenna by the human tissue.
[0081] Among them, Fig. 20 As shown in FIG. 1 , it is the simulation result of the human body of the Bluetooth antenna. According to the simulation result, the absorption of the radiation of the Bluetooth antenna by the human body tissue can be known.
[0082] Step 2020: Evaluate and optimize the stability and reliability of the Bluetooth antenna based on the absorption of the radiation of the Bluetooth antenna by human tissue.
[0083] Among them, Fig.21 As shown in the figure, the stability and reliability of the Bluetooth antenna can be evaluated and optimized according to the absorption of the radiation of the Bluetooth antenna by the human tissue; generally, the higher the absorption rate of the Bluetooth antenna by the human tissue, the worse the stability and reliability of the Bluetooth antenna; the lower the absorption rate, the better the stability and reliability of the antenna. Through experimental tests simulating the human tissue environment, the long-term stability and reliability of the antenna are evaluated and optimized to ensure that the antenna can work stably for a long time after being implanted in the human body.
[0084] like Fig.21 As shown in the figure, taking 2.5GHz as an example, the simulation results are explained. The allowed input power limit of 1g is 15.92mW, which is completely higher than the input power required by the device (1mW). When the input power is 1mW, the MAX 1g-avg SAR of the structure is about 0.1W / kg, which is much smaller than the safety standard limit (1.6W / kg).
[0085] In the manufacturing process of the antenna, the edges of the antenna can be rounded to avoid sharp corners from causing damage to human tissue. The processing accuracy and cleanliness are strictly controlled to prevent impurities or pollutants from remaining and causing harm to the human body.
[0086] An implantable medical device Bluetooth antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application is precisely simulated and designed by CST software. It can still maintain a high gain in the complex electromagnetic environment of the human body, effectively improving the data transmission distance and reliability between the implantable device and the external Bluetooth device, and helping to achieve remote and accurate monitoring and medical intervention of the patient's health status. The coplanar waveguide feeding and matching network design are adopted to achieve good impedance matching, reduce energy loss during signal transmission, improve communication efficiency, reduce the power consumption requirements of the implantable device, and extend battery life. The meandering structure (1 / 2 square structure) and bandwidth extension design enable the antenna to adapt to changes in the Bluetooth communication frequency band and the influence of human tissue on the signal, ensuring the stability and continuity of communication. The selection of materials and structural design with good biocompatibility ensure the safety and long-term stability of the antenna inside the human body, reduce adverse reactions and complications caused by implanted antennas, and improve the safety and comfort of patients.
[0087] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
