A 5.5mW IEEE-802.15.6 wireless body-area-network standard transceiver for multichannel electro-acupuncture application

In this paper, we present a state-of-the-art WBAN transceiver satisfying all of the specifications for the IEEE 802.15.6 standard. Especially, the driver active-digital-bandpass filter (ADF) is proposed to fulfill the tight spectral mask requirement without using external components. Moreover, the WBAN transceiver SoC is applied to multichannel electro-acupuncture, which is one of the most prominent emerging medical applications and is useful to verify the successful operation of the transceiver [6].
