Wireless Communication of Intraoral Devices and Its Optimal Frequency Selection.
This engineering study assesses optimal RF frequencies for wireless communication with intraoral electronic devices using an intraoral tongue drive system as an example. It compares 27 MHz, 433.9 MHz, and 2.48 GHz based on path loss, radiation patterns, and bit error rate tests, with adaptive impedance matching applied at 433.9 MHz and 2.48 GHz. The authors report better near-field performance at 27 MHz and better longer-distance performance at 433.9 MHz under the tested conditions.
Key points
- The study focuses on communication performance for intraoral wireless devices rather than health outcomes.
- Three ISM-band frequencies were evaluated: 27 MHz, 433.9 MHz, and 2.48 GHz.
- Performance metrics included path loss, radiation patterns, and bit error rate testing.
- Adaptive impedance matching was used to reduce impedance mismatch at 433.9 MHz and 2.48 GHz.
- 27 MHz showed the smallest path loss in the near-field up to 39 cm separation.
- 433.9 MHz showed the best performance beyond 39 cm and a reported maximum operating distance of 123 cm at 0 dBm output power.
