Abstract :

[en] Biomedical implanted systems require wireless technology to transfer data and power to the implanted devices. This paper compares the performance and suitability of the ASK, FSK, PSK, OOK and PWM-ASK modulation schemes in implantable devices. Simulations illustrate that the best scenario for power and data transmission is obtained using PWM coded ASK (PWM-ASK) with the 0 bit transmitted as a 50% duty cycle, and the 1 bit transmitted as 90% duty cycle. The latter is the most popular and promising system due to the low power requirement for the receiver while providing a decent BER compared to traditional modulation schemes: a comparison of the power transmission level of PWM-ASK shows a 53.4% power increase compared to OOK modulation. © 2012 IEEE.
