Wireless interrogation of an implanted temperature sensor in a mouse

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility to establish a connection between an external antenna and an antenna implanted in a mouse. This radiating element is a small-size dipole designed to operate in the ISM band at 433MHz.The aim is to make a wireless measurement of the corporal temperature of the mouse. This sensor has been provided by the SENSeOR company. The dipole has been implanted subcutaneously in an anesthetized mouse of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis.
