Description
Summary:A fully-passive, on chip wireless system is proposed for in situ detection of neuropotentials. The system aims to replace conventional wired brain-sensing technologies, thus enhancing patient mobility and preserving safety. It consists of an implanted neurosensor that comprises an implanted antenna and mixer, and an exterior RF interrogator. Link budget issues are discussed, highlighting the challenges of detecting human brain neuropotentials as small as 10s of μV pp .
