Abstract

The transmission factor from a capsule dipole antenna placed in a digestive system of a human body to the outside was investigated using the FDTD analysis. It was found that the local maximum of the transmission factor was observed in the frequency range of 400–600 MHz in the cases when a capsule dipole antenna passes through the different organs of a digestive system. Also it is confirmed that high value of the received power was obtained when the capsule dipole antenna and the receiving antenna have the same polarization.
