A Wideband Telemetry Unit for Multi-Channel Neural Recording Systems

This paper describes a low-power design of a ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter for biomedical applications. The transmitter is the part of a telemetry unit that is being developed for a multi-channel neural recording system. The transmitter in the telemetry is intended to be attached or implanted in the body. Meanwhile an off-shelf receiver will be replaced at a location up to 10 meters to detect the transmitted signal. We investigate the design of such a system for future neural recording systems and present some of the preliminary study herein.
