Preface
Thisbookcoversdevices,systems,andcircuitsthathavebeenproposedforbiomed-
icalapplicationsusingthetworecentlyestablishedbands:ultra-wideband(3.1–10.6
GHz)and60GHzISMband(57–66GHz).Therehasbeensomerecentinterestin
usingultra-wideband(UWB)andthe60GHzwirelesstechnologyforhealthcare
applicationsbecauseofsomeimportantbenefitstheyoffersuchaslow-powerdesign,
lowradiofrequency(RF)andelectromagneticinterference(EMI)effectsinmedical
environment,smallsizeantenna,andhigh-speedcommunication.Thephysicalsize
ofdevicesatthesefrequenciescanbeextremelysmallbecauseofthecircuitdesign
atgigahertz(GHz)range.Thesebandsarenotcrowdedwhencomparedtotheother
availablebands,andthushavebeenveryattractiveforimplementationinbiomedical
environment.Thusfar,ultra-widebandhasbeensuccessfullyusedforwirelessbody
areanetwork(WBAN)applications,medicalimaging,biomedicalsensing,andvital
signsmonitoring.
The unlicensed 60 GHz ISM provides one of the largest bandwidths, making
this technology attractive for medical applications. This book investigates some
potential applications of this band in the e-health areas. A wireless system based
on the 60 GHz ISM band can be deployed in medical centers or homes to initiate
fastconnectivityatlowcost.Itcanprovidevideodatatransmissionfromonepoint
to another without using wires. The 60-GHz radios can support multi-gigabit per
second data communication for body-centric wireless systems with high level of
security. It will possibly enable high level of miniaturization for the antennas and
transceivercircuitsandwillhavelowinterferenceeffectonotherwirelesssystems

UWB radar is being used in medicine to detect tumors externally for certain body
organsespeciallyforbreastcancerdetection.
