Abstract
This paper presents a wireless electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition and monitoring system for healthcare application. This system consists of three parts, namely, an analog front end, a Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder, and a frequency-shift-keying (FSK) transmitter. The analog front-end circuit acquires and digitizes the ECG signal. The RS encoder encrypts the digitized data before being sent to the FSK transmitter. The encrypted data are then up-converted to radio frequency for wireless communication. The integrated system is implemented in TSMC 0.18 μm standard CMOS process and demonstrated on a printed circuit board to verify its capability to acquire the ECG signal from the human body.
