Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):This thesis studied by simulations how the radiation efficiency of two implanted antennas depends on the antenna size and operation frequency.
The studied antenna structures are a dipole and a loop made of perfect electric conductor.
Antennas are placed inside a tissue model.
It is found that at the higher frequency, the radiation efficiency is higher for the same size antenna.
In this master's thesis, a figure-of-merit (FoM) has been derived for implantable antennas.
The FoM is proportional to the theoretical channel capacity achievable with the antenna and it is derived under assumptions that the orientation and alignment of the antenna is random and that receiver noise or allowed transmit power does not depend on the frequency.
Frequency regulations are not taken into account.
Using the FoM, two antenna types are studied by simulation.
The studied antenna structures are a dipole and a loop.
Further, it also studied what operating frequency maximizes the FoM when the physical size of the antenna is constrained.
It is found that optimal operation frequency, which maximizes the FoM is inversely proportional to the antenna size.
A small ultra-wideband antenna at 500 MHz is designed for wireless capsule endoscopy.
The design process is facilitated with a parametric analysis on the antenna operation inside a lossy tissue.
The antenna is a three-layered vertically stacked square spiral PIFA.
The proposed antenna exhibits omnidirectional radiation with a maximum far-field gain of -29.67 dB and 0.08% radiation efficiency and -10 dB impedance bandwidth is 300 MHz inside the tissue.
