An Active Concentric Electrode for Concurrent EEG Recording and Body-Coupled Communication (BCC) Data Transmission

Publication

This paper presents a wearable active concentric electrode for concurrent EEG monitoring and Body-Coupled Communication (BCC) data transmission. A three-layer concentric electrode eliminates the usage of wires. A common mode averaging unit (CMAU) is proposed to cancel not only the continuous common-mode interference (CMI) but also the instantaneous CMI of up to 51Vpp.The localized potentialmatching technique removes the ground electrode. An open-loop programmable gain amplifier (OPPGA) with the pseudo-resistor-based RC-divider block is presented to save the silicon area. The presented work is the first reported so far to achieve the concurrent EEGsignal recording and BCC-based data transmission. The proposed chip achieves 100 dB CMRR and 110 dB PSRR, occupies 0.044 mm2, and consumes 7.4 μW with an input-referred noise density of 26 nV/Hz.
