A technology of ultrasonic biotelemetry for tracking fish behavior is investigated. The ultrasonic biotelemetry system is constituted by a transmitter and a receiving system. Because a pinger was mainly used for the transmitter, the capability for pinger to possess was investigated and the efficient usage for pinger was examined. A source pressure level and a frequency were synthetically examined so that pinger could realize small size, a light weight, and a long life time. The receiving system is divided roughly into directional hydrophone systems and acoustic positioning systems by the receiving method. The directional hydrophone system is divided into single beam and multiple beam with the number of hydrophone, and the acoustic positioning systems is divided into LBL (Long Base Line), SBL (Short Base Line), and SSBL (Super Short Base Line) on the basis of base line. The present situation, the merits and demerits, and the principle of each receiving method were investigated in detail, and the efficient usage for each receiving method were examined.

본 연구에서는 체내에 이식되는 인공심장 및 제어시스템과 체외의 환자관리시스템간의 정보교환을 위한 무선 통신시스템(Biotelemetry System)을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 무선 telemetry라고 하면 전파 telemetry를 의미할 정도로 전파를 이용한 방식이 보편화되어 있으나, 늘어나는 전파무선기기에 의한 전파장해 및 간섭현상과 무엇보다 인체에 유해한 단점으로 의료용 장비에의 응용에는 부적합하다, 따라서 본 논문에서는 최근 빛을 이용한 무선telemetry에 대한 연구결과를 응용하여 피부투과성이 좋은 근적외광(Infra Red Light)을 이용한 광통신 방식으로 인공심장용 무선정보 전달장치를 구현하였다. 개발된 시스템의 성능은 인공 심장용 모의순환실험을 통해 평가되었으며 아울러 동물실험에서의 성능평가로 임상에의 응용가능성을 확인하였다.

The propagation, reflection and scattering characteristics of the near Infra-red lights were experimented in order to check the feasibility of non-restrained biotelemetry using indirect transmitted light. The results of the experiments show that 3 kinds of walls examined are not specular reflectors but almost perfect diffuse surfaces with slight directivity and that light in a local point is spread out and fills the room uniformly by repeating the reflection and scattering at walls, ceiling, floor. These results also explain the fact that the diffusely reflected light can be utilized as the carrier of biotelemetry even after several scattering and reflections.

For this study, we designed an implantable rectangular spiral antenna for medical biotelemetry in the Medical Implant Communications Service band (402 MHz to 405 MHz). The designed antenna has a U-shaped loop for impedance matching. The antenna impedance is easily adjusted by controlling the shape and length of the U-shaped loop. Significant design parameters were studied to understand their effects on the antenna performance. To verify the potential of the antenna for the desired applications, we fabricated a prototype and measured its performance in terms of the resonant characteristics and gain radiation patterns of the antenna. In the testing phase, the prototype antenna was embedded in human skin tissue-emulating gel, which was developed to simulate a real operation environment. The measured resonant characteristics show good agreement with the simulations, and the -10 dB frequency band is within the range of 398 MHz to 420 MHz. The antenna exhibits a maximum gain of -22.26 dBi and an antenna efficiency of 0.215%.

이상의 연구 성과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 1) 장비의 설치 및 취급이 간편하고, 해양생물의 순간적인 상세한 행동을 비교적 쉽게 추적할 수 있는 새로운 바이오텔레메터리 방식을 개발하였다. 바이오텔레메터리 방식에서 핑거에 수온, 압력센서 등의 추가는 핑거를 부착하는 어류에 많은 부담이 되기 때문에 수신계를 고도화함으로써 행동추적을 행하는 방법으로 하였다. 이 방식은 거리-방위의 측정원리를 이용한다. 즉, 거리를 계측하기 위해서 핑거동기 방식을 이용하고, 방위를 계측하기 위해서 SSBL방식을 채용하여, 거리와 방위를 조합(SPB 방식)함으로서 대상어의 수파기에 대한 상대위치를 구한다. 최대감도방식은 어류의 상세한 위치를 특정하기가 어렵고, 음원측위방식은 항주하는 선박에 의해 넓은 범위의 추적이 곤란하며, 또한 장비의 설치나 취급이 간편하지 못하였으나, SPB 방식에 의해 이들 결점을 대폭 해결할 수 있었다. 2) 새로운 방식으로서 개발한 SPB 방식의 시스템을 설계하였으며, 시작시스템을 제작하였다. 설계에서는 SSBL 방식과 핑거동기 방식의 기술을 조합함과 동시에 각각의 기술을 고도화하여 SPB 방식에 의해 고정도 또는 광범위 검지가 가능하도록 하였다. 따라서, 수파기는 1개로 하여 어레이의 구성의 변환에 의해 검지범위 또는 방위측정정도를 선택할 수 있도록 2개의 빔 모드로 구성 하였다. 주파수는 70kHz로 하였으며, 음원음압 136dB에서 최대검지거리 258m와 457m, 검지빔폭 76$\circ$와 29$\circ$ 를 실현할 수 있었다. 전체적인 시작시스템은 핑거, 2개의 빔모드로 구성된 수파기, 2개의 빔 모드용에 각 2개의 채널로 구성된 수신기, 디지털오실로스코프, 퍼스널컴퓨터로 구축하였다. 핑거동기 방식의 이용에 따른 측정거리오차는 수온변화에 의한 송신주기의 변화를 측정하여 최소화하도록 하였다. 핑거 부근의 수온을 알 수 있다면 핑거 송신주기의 수온특성을 보정하여 74%정도 측정거리오차를 줄일 수 있지만, 장기간에 걸쳐 추적을 하기 위해서는 다른 보정방법의 개발이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of active biotelemetry to monitor stress response, and the effects of acute stressor (raising a hind foot of a standing animal) on body temperature (BT) and heart rate (HR) in comparison heifer group (n=4) with cow group (n=3). Both parameters were recorded by active telemetry. Cortisol assay was used to compare the result of active biotelemetry. The stressor consisted in restraining the cows for hoof treatments. Body temperature and heart rate were measured at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 360 minutes during the experiments, and also cortisol assay at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 12 and 24 hours. Base line for these animals was set in there accustomed environment at -24hrs and -30 mins before the beginning of experiments. The results obtained in this study were as follows: 1. In the BT, heifer group showed no significant difference from cow group, but were observed slightly higher BT than cow group during restraint stress for 30 minutes. 2. The both groups showed directly significant increase of HR immediately after the beginning of the restraint stress (P<0.01), but in the required time for the recovery of HR after finishing the stress, heifer group was 40 minutes and cow group 60 minutes. 3. In the cortisol assay, the both groups increased from 30 to 120 minutes after the beginning of experiment (i.e, from 0 to 90 minutes after finishing the restraint stress), showing significant difference from before the beginning of the stress (P<0.01), but heifer group showed great increase of the cortisol level from 30 to 60 minutes after the beginning of the stress, while cow group was observed at 60 minutes. In conclusion, we suppose that care is required to decrease psychological stress in cattle when they suffer from a series of procedures for diagnosis and treatment, especially in heifers rather than in cows. Also BT and HR obtained by active biotelemetry are reliable indicators of stress in cattle.

This paper demonstrates a scalp-implantable miniaturized antenna at the medical implant communication service (MICS) (402-405MHz) band. The antenna size is only $27.63mm^3$($8.5mm{\times}6.5mm{\times}0.5mm$), which is the smallest antenna for the MICS band. Miniaturization is achieved by using a symmetrical serpentine shaped radiating patch and placing open-end slots in the ground plane. In addition, co-axial feeding is used for excitation with a shorting pin connected between the radiator and ground. The antenna was simulated in a homogeneous skin model and in the human scalp. An experimental prototype of the proposed antenna was fabricated and measured in a skin-mimicking gel. Good agreement was obtained between the measurement and simulation results, showing a broad bandwidth of 49 MHz (from 395 to 444 MHz) for |S11| less than -10 dB and a maximum gain of -42.87 dBi. This gain is higher than the previous MICS antenna with respect to antenna size.

In this paper, we described the ECG telemetry system via the Public Telephone Line. The system consist of a signal acquisition and measurement section, a signal processing section, and a signal transmission section. It used 8 bits microprocessor. The transmission section is composed of 3 ch. analog modulators and 1 ct. digital modem. Especially, using the digital modem, signal is transmitted with about 50n data reduction ratio by the TP (Turning Point) algorithm. The acoustic coupler or inductive coil for linking the public telephone line are used. The speed of the digital modem is 300 baud rate. The MCBS (Multi Channel Biotelemetry System) is tested and evaluated through the experiment.

Recently, interest in infra-red(IR) telemetry has increased because of the entirely different propagation and reflection properties of IR light as compared to radiowaves. IR hardly penetrates most materials and is reflected from obstacles. An biotelemetry system using these characteristics of indirect transmitted IR lights was developed, in which 3 ECG's are multiplexed and modulated in PDM/PIM pulse sequence. This proto-type system enables us to realize the non-restraint measurement of biological signals. Compared with conventional radio telemetry, this technique has some merits such as no electromagnetic interference, no frequency allocation problem, no government control over transmission power.
