Measurement of Deep Tissue Implanted Antenna Efficiency Using a Reverberation Chamber

We investigate the use of a reverberation chamber for the experimental measurement of deep implant antenna radiation efficiency. The technique was able to measure the extremely low efficiencies associated with deep implant antennas inside a muscle tissue-mimicking liquid phantom. Results were obtained for a range of insulated and un-insulated antennas with efficiencies as low as 0.06%. Analysis sh...
