Biotelemetry system for ambulatory patients

Compact transmitter for multichannel telemetry of medical data is carried in patient's belt. Pulse-code modulation (PCM), is used for high-quality signal, and low-power CMOS integrated circuits make miniaturization possible. Transmitter is useful for electro-encephalograms (EEG) and electro-cardiograms (EKG) and other biomedical patient-monitoring situations.
