High Data-Rate 6.7 GHz Wireless ASIC Transmitter for Neural Prostheses

A high-frequency transmitter has been designed for high data-rate biomedical telemetry. Although high frequencies face greater attenuation, transcutaneous transmission was successfully tested and verified using a 3.76 mm thick sample of porcine skin. The structure transmits over 440 muW of power, co...

Zusammenfassung:A high-frequency transmitter has been designed for high data-rate biomedical telemetry. Although high frequencies face greater attenuation, transcutaneous transmission was successfully tested and verified using a 3.76 mm thick sample of porcine skin. The structure transmits over 440 muW of power, consumes about 4.9 mA of current from a 1.8 V supply, and achieves a phase noise of -72 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz. The transmitter operates at around 6.7 GHz with a 50 MHz tuning range and is fully integrated on the CMOS IBM7RF 0.18 mum process.
