A 2.4-GHz wireless sensor network for smart electronic shirts integration

Abstract

Abstract-A typical sensing module is composed of sensors, interface electronics, a radio-frequency (RF) CMOS transceiver and an associated antenna. A 2.4-GHz RF transceiver chip was fabricated in a UMC 0.18 μm CMOS process. The receiver has a sensibility of -60 dBm and consumes 6.3 mW from a 1.8 V supply. The transmitter delivers an output power of 0 dBm with a power consumption of 11.2 mW. Innovative topics concerning efficient power management was taken into account during the design of the transceiver. A solution of individual sensing modules allows a plug-and-play solution. The target application is the integration of a wireless sensor network in smart electronic shirts, for monitoring the cardio-respiratory function and posture.

Prospect and application of Internet of Things technology for prevention of SARIs

“…13 Moreover, with the development of microelectronics and integrated industrial technology, numerous sensing technologies have been developed, such as the ''smart T-shirt". 14,15 The concept of instant ''plug and play" modular installation has further accelerated the development of the ''sensor network," which can be easily applied for heart, lung function, and other joint monitoring.…”

Design of novel on-chip antennas with multi-band for wireless sensor networks

“…The antenna is the key element in order to fully integrate a wireless microsystem into a single chip [1], [2], [3]. Owing to its thin profile, light weight and easy conformity and fabrication, selection of the microstrip patch antenna can be suitable for these requirements.…”
