Abstract
This paper presents a passive phase-shift keying (PPSK) modulator for uplink data transmission for biomedical implants with simultaneous power and data transmission over a single 13.56 MHz inductive link. The PPSK modulator provides a data rate up to 1.35 Mbps with a modulation index between 3% and 38% for a variation of the coupling coefficient between 0.05 and 0.26. This modulation scheme is particularly suited for biomedical implants that have high power demand and low coupling coefficients. The PPSK modulator operates in conjunction with on-off-keying downlink communication. The same inductive link is used to provide up to 100 mW of power to a multi-channel stimulator. The majority of the system on the implant side was implemented as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), fabricated in 0.6-[Formula: see text] high voltage CMOS technology. The theory of PPSK modulation, simulated and measured performance evaluation, and comparison with other state-of-the-art impedance modulation techniques is presented. The measured bit error rate around critical coupling at 1.35 Mbps is below 6 ×10(-8).
