This paper describes an RF-link system suitable for intracortical neuroprosthesis. The wireless coupling minimizes the risk of infection and improves the patient health level. Data and power are transmitted by means of an RF low-coupling transformer. Binary FSK modulation is used in the forward link (from outside to implanted prosthesis) and BPSK is used in the backward link (implanted prosthesis to outside). Experimental results are presented, and important concerns regarding the magnetic coupling are addressed.
