  • Chapter
Remote Powering and Data Communication for Implanted Biomedical Systems

Part of the book series: Analog Circuits and Signal Processing ((ACSP,volume 131))

Abstract

In this chapter, the overview and specifications of the desired implantable sensor system for small animal are given. The conceptual design of the implantable multi-sensor system is illustrated. The recent studies on implantable systems for small animal are investigated. In addition, the state of the art is presented. The challenges of the remotely powered system for freely moving small animal are defined. Moreover, the objectives of the overall system are presented, and the strategies are proposed to solve the defined challenges.
