Abstract

The implanted telemetry system provides the monitoring of species while they move within their cages. Species monitored include mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, primates, sheep, horses, cattle, and others. A miniature transmitter implanted in each animal measures one or more parameters. Parameters measured include arterial pressure, intra-pleural pressure, left ventricular pressure, intra-ocular pressure, bladder pressure, ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG, temperature, activity, and other parameters and transmits the data via radio frequency signals to a nearby receiver. Every conventional dedicated transmitter contains one or more sensors, cpu and battery. Due to the expected life of battery, the measuring time is limited. To overcome these problems, electromagnetic inductive coupling based wireless power transmission technology using multiple transmit coils were proposed. Each coil having different active area are driven by the coil driver. In this research, parallel resonance based coil driver was proposed. In addition, the device to detect where the receiver is positioned was proposed. From the experiments we show how to determine the driving condition of coil driver.

신약개발이나 동물연구 등에서 연구대상 동물이 케이지(cage) 안에서 자유롭게 움직이고 있는 상태에서 무선으로 다량의 데이터를 수집하는 장치는 실험동물 신체 내부에 배터리로 구동되는 소형발신기를 내장시켜 혈압, 온도, 심박수, Electrocardiogram(ECG), Electroencephalography(EEG) 등의 정보를 근접통신을 통해 근처의 수신기로 전달하게 된다. 이러한 장비는 한정된 내부의 배터리를 이용하기 때문에 측정시간의 한계가 있으며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 전자기유도방식의 단점인 발신부와 수신부사이의 거리가 멀어질 때 발생하는 효율저하문제를 극복하기 위하여 다중코일 구조를 이용한 무선전력전송 구동 드라이버를 제안하였으며, 다중코일 중 수신부가 놓인 코일을 선택하기 위한 수신부 감지 장치도 제시되었다. 또한 실험을 통하여 제안된 구동드라이버 및 수신부 감지 회로의 구동 조건 선정 과정을 제시하였다.
