Project details

Short description

In this subproject, localisable electromyography (EMG) radio

transponders are to be designed and realised in order to be able to

record surface EMG data synchronously with highly accurate radio

localisation in real time for the first time. For this purpose, a 61-GHz

transceiver in CMOS technology is being designed, which emits the

phase-coherent signal required for the holographic radiolocation method

and at the same time must be designed to be extremely energy-saving. In a

further step, the transceiver is to be integrated into an EMG sensor

platform, which is to be evaluated in test series on subjects, e.g. on

the face or legs, to analyse facial expressions or gait.

Scientific Abstract

In this project, localizable electromyography (EMG) radio transponders are to be designed and realized in order to be able to acquire surface EMG data synchronously with highly accurate radio localization in real time for the first time. For this purpose, a 61-GHz transceiver in CMOS technology will be designed, which emits the phase-coherent signal required for the holographic radiolocation method. At the same time, the transceiver must be designed to be extremely energy-efficient. In a further step, the transceiver is to be integrated into an EMG sensor platform, which is to be evaluated in test series on subjects, e.g. on the face or legs, for the analysis of facial expressions or gait.
