Abstract :
The communication with implants with high data rates is a demand for future medical devices. In this paper, the energy detector is evaluated as receiver concept for an IR-UWB communication system coping with data rates in the Mbit/s-range and the dispersive effects of human tissue. Beside the demonstration of a unidirectional transmission from a transmitter to a receiver within a tissue mimic liquid, the focus is on the system components, in particular on the squaring circuit.
