Localization of an RF source inside the Human body for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
(2013) 8th International Conference on Body Area Networks, BodyNets 2013 p.48-54- Abstract
- This paper presents a method based on the phase dierence
of arrival and the non-linear least square estimation to lo-
calize a radio-frequency (RF) source, e.g a wireless capsule
endoscope, inside the human body. The phase dierence of
arrival at multiple frequencies of a signal is used to estimate
the distance of the source to a receiver. The linear least
square estimation is used to estimate the initial position of
the source followed by a non-linear least square method to
improve the localization accuracy. The method is applied on
noise free simulated data obtained from FDTD simulations
in the 403.5 MHz MedRadio band of a simple ... (More) - This paper presents a method based on the phase dierence

noise free simulated data obtained from FDTD simulations
in the 403.5 MHz MedRadio band of a simple homogeneous
phantom and a more realistic heterogeneous phantom. The
distance between the true position and the estimated po-
sition is found to be within 1 cm for the simulated cases
showing the possibility to use the proposed method for lo-
calization of an RF source inside the human body, as long
as the signal to noise ratio is high enough. (Less)
