Abstract
In this paper, a noninvasive bone fracture monitoring system is developed using a planar monopole antenna. The proposed antenna provides an ultra-wideband response, and its overall size is 18 × 19 × 0.8 mm3. The proposed ultra-wideband monopole (UWM) antenna has a maximum measured gain of 3.77 dBi, and the maximum SAR value for an input power of 18 dBm is less than 1.6 (W/kg) (1 g). A bovine tibia is experimentally tested using a proposed UWM antenna to monitor the fracture recovery process and then further analysed using principle component and linear regression analysis. In addition, a microcontroller with a wireless communication module is developed to monitor the data in an Android application. The proposed system could be a promising approach for developing a portable, noninvasive monitoring device.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Antennas and Propagation publishes papers on the design, analysis, and applications of antennas, along with theoretical and practical studies relating the propagation of electromagnetic waves at all relevant frequencies, through space, air, and other media.
As well as original research, the International Journal of Antennas and Propagation also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.
