  • Abstract
    This paper presents a system simulation of wireless telemetry for a bio medical application. The idea is for the patient to swallow a capsule that then travels through the digestive tract or alimentary canal of the human body. Passing internal organs of different sizes and density making the communication between the capsule and the receiver more complex. The capsule includes a battery, transmitter, camera and antenna. The images from the camera are transmitted to the receiver located outside and in close proximity to the human body. The simulated system included a transmitter and dual receiver antenna design, transmitter and receiver block diagrams and a thermal analysis of what is happening inside the human body due to the effects of the transmitting antenna.
