Abstract

Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) is a promising modulation format for downlink data transmission in inductive biomedical telemetry systems, because it achieves high data rates and power efficiencies and requires simple electronics. In this paper, the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of a BPSK biomedical telemetry system is investigated under Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and is found to highly depend on the system’s coupling and loading conditions. High-level simulations are presented which are indicative of the performance of a real BPSK biomedical telemetry system.

Keywords: Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) biomedical telemetry bit error rate (BER) performance inductive link wireless implants
