Abstract
A system and method for localizing an in vivo signal source using a wearable antenna array having at least two antenna elements. The signal is received and a signal strength is measured at two or more antenna elements. An estimated coordinate set is derived from the signal strength measurements.
Claims22
A system for localizing an in vivo signal source comprising:
- an antenna array adapted to attach to a body, said array comprising a plurality of antenna elements;
- a signal strength detector connected to said antenna array and adapted to measure signal strength of signals received from the signal source at two or more of said antenna elements;
- and
- a processing unit adapted to communicate with said signal strength detector and to correlate the signal strength measurements at two or more of said antenna elements to an approximate coordinate set for the in vivo signal source.
