Title
A Fast And Accurate Automatic Matching Network Designed For Ultra Low Power Medical Applications
Abstract
We present a method to automatically match a system to the load variation accurately with a very short matching time for Ultra Low Power medical applications. A demonstrator was fabricated and an experimental set-up in the Medical Implant Communication System (MICS) frequency band of 402-405MHz was realized including a pacemaker antenna prototype immersed on a homogeneous lossy liquid. The matching network consists of a low pass pi structure with tunable components made of varactors. Methodologies for simplifying the matching network design are introduced. The measurements show that a S-11 up to -30dB is obtained with a matching time of 900 mu s.
