Minimally Invasive Networked Surgical System and Method

­Competitive Advantages

  • Optimize high data rates
  • Improve real-time monitoring
  • Simultaneously model BER and SAR levels

Summary

USF inventors have developed a design and optimization method utilizing a software-based test bench that allows a communication system designer to easily monitor the performance of the communication while simultaneously observing the SAR levels using highly accurate in vivo models. This method provides a critical tool for the optimization of wireless communication through the in vivo channel.
