Abstract :
A 400 MHz sub-hundred microwatt intrabody communication receiver front-end suitable for OOK, ASK and FSK modulation schemes and applied to personal health wearable/implantable devices is presented. 68.4 μW of static power, 24.1 dB of gain, at least 18 dB fundamental above distortions and 167×118 μm2 of core size are achieved in 0.18 m CMOS technology.
