Abstract-Remote monitoring of the vital signs of a patient at home is becoming increasingly important. Wireless body area sensor networks (BAN) provide a convenient platform for health monitoring. A typical biomonitoring application running on wireless BAN has stringent timing and energy requirements. In this context, a cycle accurate simulator of biomonitoring application running on wireless BAN network is a critical tool for the developer. In this paper, we present a SystemC-based fast simulator that can provide accurate timing and energy estimated for health monitoring applications on wireless BAN, which is then used to strategize the optimizations towards critical functions and/or components. Our case study with MEMSWear-Biomonitoring application shows the accuracy and utility of our simulator.

“…However, the inductor is still a necessary component and cannot be eliminated or reduced to as small as a spray inductance. On the other hand, the switched-capacitor converter [3] is a special DC-DC converter that does not require inductor as the energy storage. The traditional version [4] uses charging characteristics for voltage conversion.…”

SUMMARYA generalized method for switched-capacitor resonant converter for use in power factor correction is proposed. Using the techniques, the voltage conversion can be generated into step-up, step-down and inverting. The requirement of the inductance in the circuit is minimal. The quality of the power factor improvement is substantial. The method used in the converter includes the frequency modulation and lifting techniques. The power factor improvement is significant and the circuit concept is simple. Mathematical analysis and experimental confirmation have been presented to demonstrate the novel idea.
