A 400MHz ultra-low-power wireless transceiver for Body Area Network has been successfully developed. This transceiver supports IEEE 802.15.6 compliant mode with data rate up to 455kbps for typical medical data monitoring such as blood pressure, body temperature and ECG, and a proprietary 3.6Mbps high-speed mode for the monitoring of multi-channel EEG and ECoG. The power consumptions of receiver and transmitter are 2.2mW and 2.3mW, respectively, and are an order of magnitude smaller than current products. This power reduction extends battery run-time of medical sensor node, and contributes to enhance work efficiency of medical staff and reduce form factor of the sensor node devices.
