Wireless capsule endoscopy systems utilize a combination of hardware and software devices to ensure the healthcare of a human being. In praise of involved antennas in the overall medical system design; UWB (Ultra-Wideband) range occupies the highest ranks in the literature. The low-band of UWB is regarded as the best frequency range; within the approved standards; to realize the better transmission of captured medical images by the capsule inside the SI tract; in terms of high resolution and low-path loss. A variety of passive capsules have been designed and made available in the literature; while the accurate design of the corresponding on-body antenna is lagging. For this purpose; this paper provides an extended study of a recently published on-body antenna operating at 3.75–4.25 GHz band. The measured antenna realizes good directivity of 5.78 dBi and 9.50 dBi towards the body without and with the cavity; respectively. The direction of the proposed on-body antenna beam is targeted to be mounted on the body surface. On-body simulations were run with CST Microwave Studio by involving an abdominal multi-layer model; and followed by navel and back areas of the voxel model to predict the antenna behavior close to different lossy body environments. Later; the antenna structure was measured next to a real human abdomen. Simulation results reveal that the proposed antenna with or without the cavity enables enhanced in-body communication when mounted on the abdomen with less path loss. This is supported by the low power totaling 20 dB at the SI (Small Intestine) tract. Furthermore; on-body measurements confirm the good antenna performance. Consequently; the planar compact antenna is regarded as a good on-body candidate for wireless capsule endoscopy systems. © 2020; Electromagnetics Academy. All rights reserved;
