Abstract— In recent heart rate detection
technique like MRI, CT scan, X-ray etc emits
harmful radiations hence it is not advisable by
doctors for frequent check-up. Also, ECG
human intervention and skilled medical staff
and it have various electrode which have to
place at particular location on body. So, we are
proposing microstrip patch antenna which is
not harmful and we can monitor heart rate at
any time, it also doesn’t require any wear and
tear of skin as it is wearable on cloth or it can be
attached to body. We will be trying to improve
the directivity gain of microstrip antenna for
efficient monitoring of heart rate. We are using
dielectric material as a substrate to microstrip
patch antenna. We are designing rectangular
patch antenna with improved directivity gain

INTRODUCTION
In India, the prevalence of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) is among the highest in the world.
India's CVD death rate is expected to rise from 2.26
million in 1990 to 4.77 million annually (2020).
The prevalence of coronary heart disease in India
has been estimated to range from 1.6% to 7.4% in
rural regions and from 1% to 13.2% in urban areas
throughout the last several decades. According to

India, heart diseases caused more than 2.1 million
fatalities in 2015, accounting for more than 25% of
all deaths. People of various ages were killed in
these incidents. Among those aged 30-69, 0.9
million (68.4%) died as a result of coronary heart
disease, while 0.4 million (28.0%) died as a result
of stroke. The study found that people born after the
1970s are substantially more likely to die from such
causes than those born before..
MOTIVATION
We are aware that routine MRI, CT scan, X-ray
are not healthy for anyone's body and are not
recommended by doctors. The techniques like ECG
requires skilled staff and expensive machinery and
electrodes, it requires frequent maintenance. So, are
building a microstrip patch antenna since frequent
monitoring is required for any cardiac ailment. It
emits and receives the harmless electromagnetic
wave (EM wave).
II.
III Background
Before the development of the microstrip
antenna, heart patients underwent routine MRI
and CT-Scan examinations, but doctors do not
recommend them because of the radiation they
emit, which can destroy the heart's soft tissues.
In 1973 rectangular patch antenna was
introduced which is relatively inexpensive to
manufacture. A simple patch antenna provides
directive gain around 6-9 dBiUnits
A block diagram is graphical representation of
the flexible road dividers. It offers the system's
functional perspective. The function of the
system is better understood thanks to block
diagrams, which also make it easier to connect
various blocks together. Block diagrams are the
first step in the process of creating simulation
circuits and, ultimately, the necessary

Block Diagram Explanation
The system flow diagram for designing
the antenna is shown in the above image.
We choose the substrate material, patch
antenna shape, and operating frequency.
The dimensions are then calculated and
the antenna is designed in CST studio. The
simulation, analysis, and process are then
repeated for each variety of substrate. We

outcomes

conclusions. We carry out design, testing,
and analysis
