- 详细技术说明
- UCLA researchers have developed a distance-immune bi-directional half-duplex wireless data link for monitoring data in biomedical implants. By employing a novel approach based on a free-running oscillator tuned by coupled resonators, immunity to distance variation (within limits) is achieved while meeting all other requirements. This invention alleviates the modulation index change with coils distance variation. Therefore, variations in patient movement and surgical placements will not disrupt data monitoring in biomedical implants.

Background
Wireless power transfer and data communication in biomedical implants is a new method for continuously monitoring brain/body activities. The biomedical implant relays data to a unit outside the human body (uplink direction) and can receive commands or control information in the reverse direction (downlink direction). The data link should be bidirectional, consume very low power inside the body, have enough bandwidth to transfer recorded data from multiple channels and be insensitive to the distance between the external unit and implant. Although the latter feature has been overlooked, distance is highly prone to change due to patient movements and different surgical placements.
