Easy-to-swallow antenna and propagation

The first part of this series reviewed recent developments in the design of wireless telemetry units for electronic pill technology and discussed the challenges and developments for successful implementation of high-resolution video-based electronic pills. This second part reviews potential miniature antenna modules that fit inside the electronic pills and discusses propagation analysis of RF signals through the dense in-body environment.
