Abstract

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) has conquered several limitations of traditional diagnostic tools such as cable discomfort and the inability to examine the more convoluted regions of the intestines. However, this technique requires further improvements before it can be implemented. The antenna plays a major role in transmitting and receiving signals in such a system. Transmission efficiency of the antenna will determine the quality of images received in real-time. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art WCE transmitting antennas. Two types of popular antenna structures will be discussed.
