  • Abstract
    The conformal capsule antenna possesses attractive features like conformal geometry, miniaturized size, polarization diversity, omni-directional pattern similar to dipole, easy and straightforward tuning ability to compensate the effects of electrical components inside the capsule and human body which makes it a good candidate for capsule imager.
