Abstract:With the potential use of wireless implanted devices for transplanted liver monitoring applications, it is important to investigate the in-body propagation channel at liver area and to demonstrate the feasibility of the applications. Experimental measurements were performed using our developed multilayer human equivalent phantoms. Subsequently, path loss data were recorded and analyzed for various distances between the implanted and on-body antennas at lower range of ultra-wideband to assess the in-body propagation channel. Finally, our preliminary results indicate a possibility for liver implanted wireless communications using UWB technology in the example case scenario.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
