Research Abstract	The purpose of this study is developing implantable fiducial marker which has dosimeter function for cummlative absorbed dose with wireless measurement. By using capacitance change due to radiation irradiation, irradiated dose to marker can be measured by measuring resonant frequency of coil-capacitor system. A network analyzer-based measurement was performed to measure capacitance through an antenna coil, we succeeded in precise measurement for the capacitance ranging from 1 pF to 100 nF. Additionally, we conclude that wireless measurement of 20 cm distance is possible from simulation results.
