Abstract
This paper proposes a conformal trapezoid strip excited broadband hemispherical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) design in ultra wide-band (UWB) low band 3.1–4.8 GHz for medical capsule endoscope applications. The proposed antenna can be conformal to the capsule dome and is also characterized by light weight, low profile, low cost, small size. A broadband trapezoid monopole receiver antenna is developed for transmission measurements. The UWB transmission loss characteristics in body tissue are exploited based on the measurement solution. Moreover, a successful video transmission from inside to outside body has been carried out based on multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) scheme using the proposed antennas. Additionally, a preliminary research based on a binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) carrier transmission has been done to investigate the potential capsule endoscope communication performance.
