Location Dependent Channel Characteristics for Implantable Devices

Abstract

This paper presents an impact on an in-vivo channel with respect to the position of ex-vivo antenna placement and its location. The paper also shows how the location of the antenna is impacting the channel. Three different parts are considered for the simulations using measured data for 500 MHz bandwidth. The results in the paper present the high location dependent characteristics of the in-vivo channel in the context of changing the position of the ex-vivo antenna. These findings can help in the system design for the future of the implantable devices design to be placed inside the human body.
