The film antenna for capsular endoscope

Abstract

Recently, the capsular endoscope that has extra function has been investigated. Although the power consumption tends to increase as the ability increases, it is difficult to increase the capacity of the battery due to the volumetric problem. In this study, we proposed an antenna for both wireless power transmission and image transmission to be mounted on a capsule endoscope. In this paper, we discussed the requirements desired to antennas to be mounted in capsular endoscope.
