Abstract

This paper reports the design of a battery-operated, high bandwidth, multi-channel wireless medical telemetry system. The system is capable of transmitting 2.3 Mbps of raw streaming data using the IEEE 802.11b protocol. In a typical application, the system was used to collect data from micro-wire electrodes implanted in the ventral striatum of an awake and behaving rat. The complete system weighs 87 g (without battery) and consumes 2.7 W
