Original Kurzfassung:
The big potential of ultra wideband radio, in
particular low power consumption, low power spectral
density, high immunity against interference, affords many
benefits, not only for consumer electronics, but also for
medical devices. A cochlea implant is an electronic hearing
apparatus, where a wireless link through human tissue is
required. In this paper we propose a UWB link for a data
rate of 1.2 Mbps and a propagation distance up to
500 mm. Transmitter, antennas and receivers are
described and proposals for semiconductor integration are
made.
