Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed a wearable/implant integrated wideband transceiver aiming for medical/healthcare applications at 10-50 MHz extremely weak radio band. The developed integrated transceiver is not only able to realize high quality wearable transmission such as electrocardiogram and myoelectric signals by using the wideband human body communication technology, but also achieved the world's highest transmission rate of 10 Mbps up to 26 cm depth in an implant transmission with living pig. Furthermore, we also proposed and constructed an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) immunity test system to ensure its safe and secure use. The effectiveness of immunity test system has been verified through electrostatic discharge test prescribed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and is leading the EMC standardization in IEC.
