Über dieses Buch

This book presents the design, development and field trials of radio frequency based wireless monitoring system for sleep apnoea patients. It contains 4 major areas including general background of wireless monitoring technology and MIMO in wireless body area network (WBAN), microwave hardware designs, virtual MIMO in WBAN and hardware system level implementation and field trials. At components level, this book presents the design theory, process and examples of bandpass filters, lowpass filters, low profile patch antennas, power amplifiers and oscillators which are the key elements in transducer designs in the body area network and cooperative communication wireless sensor network system. At system level, this book features the hardware integration, field trial and network coding techniques. This book also gives a presentation of virtual MIMO applications, e.g. MIMO implementation using FPGA, correlation coefficient measurement. The book will create impact in the fields of wireless monitoring technology in biomedical engineering, which have been growing exponentially.

Chapter 9. Power Amplifier and Oscillator Design for Wireless Power Transmission
Abstract
The preceding chapters have presented the passive component designs of the BPF, LPF and antennas. BPFs are usually placed in the transmission link to filter out noises. The noises and interferences are due to the generation of inherent higher order harmonics and image frequencies in the up-conversion and down-conversion circuits before broadcasting the signal via the antennas. LPFs are usually placed in the reception link as the first component to filter out unwanted signals from higher frequencies. Antennas are the spatial filters and transducers between guided and free space waves, and usually, are placed adjacent to the BPFs or LPFs. Antenna design determine the communication bands of the system. All the passive design play significant roles in noise-filtering and channel selection. This is the last chapter of Part II: RF Wireless On-Body Sensor Design.
