Paul,
I have been in the wildlife telemetry business for about 15 years. It
sounds like you are doing ARGOS units. I don't think you will find a
better material than multistrand SS. As for the fatigue we generally
use a tapered strain relief device. you may also use a coated SS
spring for strain relief. This has worked well even on such difficult
species as eagles which tend to pull at the units for the entire 4
years the units are attached. I must say I'm rather surprised at the
results of your feedpoint impedance simulations. Have you done any
modeling using simulated live animal tissue structures in the near
field?
