Patent attributes
A wearable radio frequency receiver device is provided, which includes a receiver antenna configured to receive an interrogation signal from a transmitter. The receiver device further includes a sensor coupled to the receiver antenna and configured to receive a physiological input from a user wearing the device and generate a sensor signal based on the physiological input, and a modulator configured to perform direct modulation on the received interrogation signal based on the sensor signal to encode the physiological input in the directly modulated interrogation signal. The receiver antenna may be configured to reflect at least a portion of the directly modulated interrogation signal as backscatter radiation. A transceiver including a transceiver antenna may be provided to receive the directly modulated interrogation signal, and the modulation receiver may be configured to process the directly modulated interrogation signal and output a decoded physiological input.
