Murata announced that it has expanded its Type 1RM line of miniature, low-power MICS (Medical Implant Communication System) radio-band modules with theaddition of the LBAA0PC1RMH298, a module operating in the 402 to 405 MHz frequency range. Capable of supporting data transfer rates of 128 kbps, the new module can communicate at a distance of up to 2 metres.
Designed for use in both wearable and implantablediagnostic and monitoringdevices, this module can be used in data-intensive applications.
Typical applications includeinsulin pumps, drugs and baclofen, as well as arrhythmia and bladder monitoring devices.
With its extremely compact dimensions of only 8.6 x 5.6 x 1.7 mm, this module is undoubtedly one of the most compact and integrated solutions of its kind currently available on the market.
It uses Murata's proprietary wireless technology, which packs all key components, both active and passive, into a single miniaturised package.
In addition to high performance, the module is characterised by extremely low power consumption, with a current draw of only 0.2 µA in sleep mode.
