Title :
Spread-spectrum UHF encrypted-command patient link
Author :
Swanberg, Jon W.
Abstract :
A wide-bandwidth frequency-hopped spread-spectrum UHF radio biomedical interface is discussed. The interface allows two-way patient voice link, input/output patient physiologic links, and a physician/paramedic two-way voice command link. A simple UHF transceiver is worn by the patient. The signals are received by a fixed transceiver interfaced to an appropriate monitoring function
