Abstract :
The exclusive biotelemetry system for implantable measurement utilizing a low-power BPSK transmitter, RF terminal chip for signal up-conversion and receiver is presented in this paper. The frequency band used in the human body is the unlicensed band at 402-405 MHz allocated to medical implant communication systems (MICS) by FCC and the ISM bands (2.4 GHz, 5.7 GHz) are used for transmission in the air. This system has following characteristics: 40 channels with 75 k bandwidth (in-body), 80 channels with 100 k bandwidth (on-body), low output power in transmitter and easily be full-integrated that are suitable for implantable applications.
