In our current four years joint project UWB in Medicine we were able to demonstrate the suitability of a carrierless impulse UWB radio for medical sensing applications and wireless sensor node communications in biomedical settings. We developed analog signal processing algorithms, state of the art UWB antennas and a highly flexible impulse UWB chipset for receive and transmit applications. There are still important open points which we want to address in this final 2-years period of UKoLos. This new project proposal UWB in Medicine 2 will now turn its attention to UWB systems which can eventually be placed inside of the human body. Two potential applications, specifically, will guide the research undertaken in the proposed project:• Communication with implants• Localization of interventional devices, such as cathetersSignificant challenges arise, which move beyond the investigations done so far. In the field of circuit design we will demonstrate a further increase in circuit integration with a novel monostatic UWB radar on a single chip. Further, diverging UWB standardization will be addressed using new tunability concepts for low power consumption pulse generators, which are essential for global acceptance of medical UWB, and for patient mobility. The ensemble of methods, circuits, and antennas will be validated in a test bed which addresses the topics of imaging of the body surface, localization and movement-tracking of interventional devices inside the human body, with millimeter-wave accuracy, in the presence of restricted bandwidth, low SNR, multipath propagation and interference.

在我们目前的四年联合项目UWB的医学联合项目中，我们能够证明无载体IMPULSE UWB无线电对医疗传感器应用和生物医学环境中无线传感器节点通信的适用性。我们开发了模拟信号处理算法，最新的UWB天线和高度灵活的UWB芯片组，用于接收和传输应用。在Ukolos的最后2年期间，我们仍需要解决一些重要的开放点。该新的项目提案UWB在医学2中2现在将其注意力转向UWB系统，有时可以放置在人体内部。具体来说，有两种潜在的应用将指导拟议项目中进行的研究：•与即兴的沟通•介入的介入设备的定位，例如导管分配的挑战，这超出了迄今为止所做的调查。在电路设计领域，我们将通过单个芯片上的新型单静力UWB雷达进一步增加电路集成。此外，使用新的可可消耗性脉冲发生器的新可可匹配概念来解决UWB标准化，这对于全球接受医疗UWB和患者的活动性至关重要。方法，电路和天线的合奏将在测试床上进行验证，该测试床介绍了人体内部介入的介入设备的介入和运动跟踪的主题，并具有毫米波的精度，在受限的带宽，低SNR，多snR，多路径传播和干涉的情况下。
