This paper analyzes the effect of close proximity for coil arrays and measures the S21 mutual coupling, resonant frequency, and quality factor (Q) of arrays with 2, 4, & 8 coils. It is demonstrated that for vertically separated coils, the mutual coupling effect decays asymptotically as a function of separation distance; whereas for horizontally separated coils, there are two mutual coupling minima with one minima occurring for overlapping coils and the second minima similar to the vertically separated coils. Results from this study can be used to optimize electrically small RF coil arrays used in low-field MRI, NFC, and wireless power transfer.

Harmonic radar architectures present systems of wireless detection operating at multiple harmonic carrier frequencies. The noise and sensitivity of a harmonic radar system, which is developed at 12 GHz and 24 GHz for vital signs detection, are studied numerically and experimentally. The received signal power of the radar system is analyzed numerically as a function of the distance, taking into account the radar cross section (RCS) of the patient chest. The numerical data are compared with results obtained with single carrier frequency system. The total noise is a combination of thermal noise, residual phase noise, and flicker noise that presents the most elevated factor influencing the detection at baseband. Experimental results show that with the harmonic radar, the flicker noise can be reduced by 20dB at around 1Hz baseband frequency.

Design considerations and limitations of implantable Intraocular Pressure Monitoring (IOPM) systems are presented in this paper. Detailed comparison with the state of the art is performed to highlight the benefits and challenges of the proposed design. The system-on-chip, presented here, is battery free and harvests energy from incoming RF signals. This low-cost design, in standard CMOS process, does not require any external components or bond wires to function. This paper provides useful insights to the designers of implantable wireless sensors in terms of design choices and associated tradeoffs.

This paper presents a highly sensitive biosensor based on a microstrip ring resonator to detect glucose concentration. The proposed sensor structure allows observation of small variation of glucose concentration by two port S-parameter measurement. The sensor is based on a resonant microstrip ring with a microfluidic container placed on top. The interaction between the electric field and the milliliter range water-glucose solutions under test can be observed measuring the phase shift of the S-parameter from 3.98 to 4.05 GHz. Combining the microwave detection and the microfluidic network, a time efficient and low cost architecture is presented. With this technique a very sensitive water-glucose concentration of less than 50 mg/dl can be separated.

Coexistence of various on-body and intra-body biomedical ICs call for the need of inter-device data communication at high speeds with ultra lower power consumption and smaller footprint. To address these needs, this work presents an injection locked clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit in 65 nm CMOS for body channel communication transceivers that employ direct digital transmission. The CDR utilizes pulses generated due to the high pass nature of body channel from transmitted digital data and injects them directly into the VCO to recover the clock. The injection locking achieves instantaneous clock and data recovery compared to conventional PLL based CDR circuits for data rate of 100 Mb/s. With a low power consumption of 0.36 mW and a small footprint of 0.07 mm2, the proposed CDR helps further miniaturization of battery operated biomedical ICs.

The quality of microwave imaging depends on two factors: the resolution and contrast of microwave images. The resolution of microwave image is dominated by the bandwidth of microwave signal; whereas, the contrast depends on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) - the higher the SNR is, the better the contrast of the images is. In general the wider the bandwidth of a signal has, the higher the frequency will be, which in turn causes more serious attenuation during wave propagation inside tissues. The resulting SNR is then degraded. Thereby, there is a tradeoff between the resolution and contrast of microwave images. This paper intends to study the tradeoff of the high quality microwave imaging based on a new communication scheme. In particular, we consider an multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) approach for breast tumor detection. Conducted computer simulations show that this scheme can get a better target identification capability and improved SNR and that it can attain a better tradeoff between resolution and penetration depth.

Radio frequency (RF) wireless communication development has unique challenges for medical implantable applications stemming from the electromagnetic (EM) interactions with the surrounding biological tissue. There are, however, numerous benefits of higher frequency RF communication, including improved speed, range, reliability, and ease of use, that have resulted in a rapid growth of RF in implantable devices. There has also been significant development of numerous network protocols and FCC allocations of bands targeted specifically for these applications. Thorough survey and analysis of patient and physician use cases is critical for steering the design and development phases to maximize a product's chance of success. Sufficient modeling, representative and comprehensive testing utilizing anechoic chambers and RF phantom recipes, iterative design methods, and in vivo studies are necessary for successful development of a high-frequency RF Class III medical device targeted for commercial release.

A simple octa-band monopole antenna for LTE/WWAN smart phone applications is proposed. Occupying a small size of 15×45×4 mm3 in the top corner of the main system circuit board, the proposed antenna is formed by a rectangle-loop-loaded (RLL) meandered line, a vertical planar strip and a matching circuit. With the presences of the proposed structure configuration, two board operating bandwidths, including 1710-2690 and 698-960 MHz are achieved respectively. Good radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna are given to prove the reliability of the scheme, which is very promising for smart phone applications in the 4G LTE communication.
