A Synchronized Phase-Shifted Time-Multiplexed Uplink Wireless Power and Data Transfer System for Implantable Voltammetry

A Synchronized Phase-Shifted Time-Multiplexed Uplink Wireless Power and Data Transfer System for Implantable Voltammetry 150 150

Abstract:

Existing single-link wireless power and data transfer (WPDT) systems for implantable biosensors support either closed-loop power regulation or sensor data uplink, but not both simultaneously, resulting in degraded efficiency and restricted sensing. This work presents a 13.56-MHz WPDT system with: 1) a synchronized phase-shifted time-multiplexed uplink scheme enabling TX power regulation …

A Single-Transducer Ultrasound System for Concurrent Power Harvesting and Adaptive Backscatter Communication in Bio-Implants

A Single-Transducer Ultrasound System for Concurrent Power Harvesting and Adaptive Backscatter Communication in Bio-Implants 150 150

Abstract:

Bioelectronic implants have enabled precise and closed-loop interfacing with biological systems to diagnose, monitor, and treat disorders. A critical challenge for these chronically implanted systems is the design of a robust, real-time wireless data uplink and a continuous, efficient wireless power delivery link within a severely constrained form factor. Ultrasound, …

A 40.68-MHz Dual-Output Wireless Power Transfer System for Millimeter-Scale Biomedical Implants

A 40.68-MHz Dual-Output Wireless Power Transfer System for Millimeter-Scale Biomedical Implants 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a single-link, dual-output wireless power transfer (WPT) system operating at 40.68 MHz for miniature, high-power biomedical implants. The elevated carrier frequency enables a millimeter-scale receiver (RX) coil while maintaining link efficiency and output power comparable to low-frequency WPT designs. End-to-end (E2E) efficiency is optimized through global power …

A Battery-Free BLE Backscatter Communication Chip for Wearable Systems

A Battery-Free BLE Backscatter Communication Chip for Wearable Systems 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a backscatter chip that features bidirectional communication with commodity bluetooth low-energy (BLE) transceivers. For uplink, the chip reflects a reverse-whitened BLE tone into single-sideband (SSB) GFSK-modulated BLE packets via a proposed replica VCO-based GFSK modulator and an inductor-free SSB reflector. For downlink, the BLE packets are frequency …
