Vivaldi Antennas for Contactless Sensing of Implant Deflections and Stiffness for Orthopaedic Applications

The implementation of novel coaxial dipole antennas has been shown to be a satisfactory diagnostic platform for the prediction of orthopaedic bone fracture healing outcomes. These techniques require mechanical deflection of implanted metallic hardware (i.e., rods and plates), which, when loaded, pro...
