Abstract
In this work, the microwave radiation is adopted for remote activation of pharmaceutical drug capsules inside the human
body in order to release drugs at a pre-determined time and location. An array of controllable transmitting sources is used
to produce a constructive interference at a certain focus point inside the body, where the drugs are then released from the
specially designed capsules. An experimental setup for microwave activation has been developed and tested on a body
phantom that emulates the human torso. A design of sensitive receiving structures for integration with a drug capsule is
presented.
