Abstract

The WBAN (wireless body area networks) transceivers are the key part of a wireless medical/health care system. Design considerations, such as the frequency band selection and the link budget, of the narrow band short range wireless transceivers will be discussed for both the SIDs and the PBS. Three low-power WBAN transceiver design examples will be presented to illustrate the design principles, including a 2.4GHz SID transmitter with 1Mbps ASK modulation, a 400MHz transceiver for implantable SIDs with 3Mbps MSK TX, and a multiband multimode PBS transceiver which covers the 400 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. The DC offset cancellation (DCOC) circuit for the low-power zero-IF receiver design will also be presented.
