The implantable antenna is an important part of the wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) system to achieve wireless communication. This paper designed an ultra-wideband flexible implantable antenna for wireless capsule endoscopy system. With a very wide bandwidth, the antenna can completely cover the industrial, scientific, and medical frequency bands (ISM, 2.4-2.48 GHz) and Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS, 1.395-1.4 GHz). The expanded size of the proposed antenna is 18mm× 10mm× 0.1mm. The conformal technology of the antenna has further reduced the space of the system and achieved miniaturization. The capsule antenna in this paper is a compact planar monopole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide, and it uses a flexible material as a dielectric substrate to achieve the conformal shape of the antenna. U-shaped ground branch (UGB) and a loaded split ring resonator (SRR) structure were used to further improve the antenna performance. Simulation and measurement results were basically the same. On the premise of radiation safety and miniaturization of the antenna, the ultra-wideband operation of the antenna was realized. This antenna design provided reference value for the design and application of the capsule antenna.
