  • Abstract
    This paper presents the design and performance of an implanted coil antenna for capsule endoscopy and a circularly polarized antenna for an external base station operating at a 915-MHz band (920-925 MHz). The measurement setup for characterizing the transmission characteristics between the external and implant antennas is designed and demonstrated. The data derived from the RF transmission measurements are essential for system link budget calculation.
