Abstract
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a non-invasive imaging process.
In wireless capsule endoscopy system, a tiny wireless camera is used to
take image of patient digestive tract. This paper introduces a Microstrip patch
antenna which operates at MICS band (402–406 MHz) for wireless capsule
endoscopy. MICS band meets requirement with high data rate transmission, low
power, long range (10 ft.), leads to design miniaturized antenna and compatible
signal propagation characteristics in the human body. All the important
parameter related to the proposed antenna such as operating frequency, bandwidth,
return loss, VSWR < 2, radiation pattern has investigated through simulation
and measurement.
