Abstract
This paper presents a study of the radio channel characteristics between a colon capsule endoscope and a multiple on-body antenna system in ultra wideband wireless body area networks (UWB-WBAN). The main aim is to study the variation of the channel characteristics for the on-body antennas in different capsule locations throughout the whole colon area. The study is conducted with CST Studio Suite simulations and one of its anatomical voxel models. A simplified capsule model and directive on-body antennas designed for low-band UWB in-body communications are used. It is found that five of this type directive on-body antennas provide sufficient coverage over the whole colon are even in the most challenging capsule locations.
本文研究了超宽带无线体域网(UWB-WBAN)中结肠胶囊内窥镜与多体上天线系统之间的无线信道特性。主要目的是研究在整个结肠区域内不同胶囊位置的体载天线的信道特性变化。该研究是通过CST Studio Suite模拟和其中一个解剖体素模型进行的。采用简化的胶囊模型和定向体上天线设计低频段超宽带体内通信。研究发现,即使在最具挑战性的胶囊位置,这种类型的5个定向体上天线也能提供对整个结肠的足够覆盖。
