9.2 A 13.3mW 500Mb/s IR-UWB transceiver with link-margin enhancement technique for meter-range communications

Unlike consumer electronics, transfusing the advanced wireless technology into medical equipment has not been rapidly developed. For wireless medical applications, lossless connection and noninvasive transmission are important factors. Moreover, in medical imaging applications such as 4D ultrasound imaging, high-information-rate transmission with a real-time display are demanded. To support the high-definition video format, a data-rate as high as 500Mb/s is desirable for raw data transmission. The mm-Wave transceiver [1] or the MB-OFDM transceiver [2] can provide high data-rate, but high power consumption and high transmission power are shortcomings for medical applications.
