Abstract

See full text

An RF telemetry receiver circuit for active implantable medical devices. The baseband binary signal (Db) is doubly modulated by a low frequency carrier (Fm) and by a high frequency carrier (Fc). The receiver circuit is a semi-passive non heterodyne circuit, devoid of a local oscillator and mixer. It comprises an antenna (104), a passive bandpass filter (108) centered on the high-frequency carrier (Fc), a passive envelope detector (120-126) and a, digital demodulator (116). The envelope detector comprises a first diode circuit (120) of non-coherent detection, an active bandpass filter (122) centered on a frequency (2.Fm) twice the low frequency carrier and having a bandwidth (2.Db) twice the baseband bandwidth, and a second diode circuit (124) of non-coherent detection, outputting a baseband signal applied to the digital demodulation stage (116).
