Abstract
A dual polarized dipole wearable antenna may be embedded within a shirt or/and outfit, placed at a range of up to few millimeters from the body of a user in which there is a transmitting swallowable imaging device. The antenna is constructed of three conducting layers: radiating layer, feed network layer and ground layer, separated by two dielectric substrate layers. The feed network layer may receive and transmit horizontally polarized signals. When placed one on top of the other, parallel strips of the radiating layer are disposed against a longitudinal strip of the feed network layer, and stubs of the feed network layer are disposed across a slot of the radiating layer. The slot of the radiating layer may be excited by radiation from, and be in interaction with the stubs of the feed network layer to receive and transmit vertically polarized signals.
