Summary:
This talk presents the design, implementation, and validation of a measurement system for assessing the electromagnetic susceptibility of implantable medical devices (IMDs). The system is based on electric field and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurements in a human body phantom model. The design and implementation of the measurement system will be described in detail, including: (a) the high-precision optical tracking system for localizing the electric field probe, (b) the system for measuring the dielectric properties of the liquid that simulates human tissue, (c) the electric field measurement system using a probe and a flat phantom, (d) the radiofrequency signal generation system, and (e) the data post-processing system for generating 2D heat maps and 3D volumes of the electric field and SAR. The results of the measurement system validation will also be presented, including a comparison of the measured electric field and SAR heat maps with numerical simulations. The talk will conclude with the presentation of application examples of the measurement system for the assessment of the electromagnetic susceptibility of pacemakers and cochlear implants.
Biography:
Manuel Perez (M'2010) received his Ph.D (2013) in Electronics and Communications Engineering and his M.Sc (2009) in Electronics Engineering with a focus in Wireless Communications from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and his B.E (2010) in Electronics Engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, Colombia, as part of a double degree program with the Politecnico di Torino.
From 2009 to 2013, he was a research Assistant with the iXem Labs (Politecnico di Torino) and the Laboratorio di Antenne e Compatibilita Elettromagnetica (LACE) at the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (ISMB), Torino, Italy. He is now Associate Professor within the Electronics Department at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. He has also collaborated with the Centro de Excelencia y Apropiación en Internet de las Cosas (CEA- IoT) as a team director in the areas of Wearables, Smart Cities, and Safety, working in several I+D+i projects. His research interests also include Applied Electromagnetics, Antennas, Computational Electromagnetics (CEM), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and IoT.
