In the capsule endoscope application, a coil type antenna namely a normal-mode helical antenna was used because of suitable shape to deploy in a cylindrical capsule. In antenna design, many human tissue conditions such as a stomach, fat and skin should be taken into account. Here, losses of human ti...
