Ultra Wideband Wireless Body Area Network for Medical Applications.

摘要

The utilization of wireless technology in traditional medical services provides patients with enhanced mobility. This has a positive effect in the recovery speed of a person after major surgical procedures or prolonged illness. Ultra wideband (UWB) radio signals have inherent characteristics that make them highly suitable for less invasive medical applications. This paper surveys our recent research on UWB technology for medical sensing, imaging, and localization. The interconnection of multiple wireless sensors that constitute a medical body area network (WBAN) is also described. Research perspectives in the aforementioned topics are suggested too.
