Optical Wireless Communication Systems for Biomedical Implants: Basics and Advances of Biotelemetry
Abstract
The Tutorial introduces to the design of wireless communication systems for biomedical implants by making a detailed focus on the basics and advances of the optical biotelemetry. In particular, the design of new architectures of biomedical systems is demanding to fulfill the need to acquire and process biological/neural signals providing high-quality healthcare to sick persons. Therefore, the following key-points are required: design of novel biomedical apparatus for prosthetic devices, diagnostic and therapeutic instrumentations, neural systems, etc., as well as guarantee the capability to transmit-receive data from inside and outside of the human body by means of high-efficiency implantable wireless data link solutions. Therefore, it is needed to develop implantable (transcutaneous) wireless biotelemetry systems achieving high data rate transmission, high efficiency characteristics (low-voltage/low-power), small Si area and low Bit Error Ratio.
