| Summary: | Artificial pacemaker is implanted into the body of
one whom encounters heart
beat failure. It replaces the function of heart pac
emaker by controlling heart beat
ineffability. The tiny electronic device consists
of the lead electrode system, pacemaker
itself and connector. The operation of mobile phone
produces electromagnetic effects to
other electronic devices due to its Radio Frequency
(RF). Excessive exposure of
electromagnetic (EM) on the artificial pacemaker ma
y cause failure to it and discomfort
and illness to its user. In order to evaluate the d
egree of electromagnetic interference
(EMI) on the pacemaker due to EM source such as mob
ile phone, it is best to understand
the operation of pacemaker and its circuitry. Hence
, this research is carried out to
develop EM modeling of an artificial heart pacemake
r and to determine the radiation
impedance, induced by the source voltage and also t
he interference voltage and current
which exist at the connector of the pacemaker. Simu
lated results obtain from
programming in Microsoft Visual C++ is used to anal
yze the EM modeling of artificial
pacemaker when the capacitor of the pacemaker is ch
arging and discharging. As the
continuous process of charging and discharging of p
acemaker’s capacitor will stimulate
the heart beat of the user. |
