Abstract

Since the publication of the first biomedical swallowable telemetry device in 1957, an immense evolution has taken place in biomedical monitoring, stimulation and instrumentation, that would have been impossible without the use of wireless information transmission. The first section gives an overview of wireless methods for transmitting information to and from biomedical implants, followed by a practical introduction on analog and digital modulation methods, in a historical perspective. Next, methods are presented briefly for compressing the amount of transmitted information, as well as rendering the transmitted information more error-resistant. Being a design hurdle in many biomedical telemetry designs, the trade-off between antenna sizing and carrier selection is discussed. Finally, an overview is given of several published or commercial biomedical telemetry applications, with a focus on wireless transmission.
