In this paper, RF radio frequency principle is used to design a pure analog low power wireless neural signal acquisition module suitable for small animals. Compared with digital-analog hybrid scheme, the pure analog implementation had the advantages of small size, low power consumption and simple structure. The acquisition module were divided into two parts including analog front-end amplification and wireless data transmission. With the use of low-power, low-noise instrumentation amplifier INA333 and OPA333 op amp analog front-end amplifier, a two-stage amplifier structure was formed and the power consumption and size of the circuit was reduced. The feedback enhancement effect achieved by adding a feedback inductor reduced the power consumption of the Colpitts oscillator. The FM modulation of the oscillator used the inter-polar capacitance of the transistor to form a pure analog wireless data transmission circuit, so that the acquisition module had the advantages of small size, low power consumption and wireless data transmission features. Circuit simulation and experimental test results both showed that the module could complete the wireless acquisition of animal neural signals and had a certain practicality.

仿真得到的输出电导与输出电纳关于反馈电感Lg的变化曲线如图7所示,图中还描绘了不同rbe值对输出电导和输出电纳的影响。图中可以观察到在确定rbe值的条件下,当电感在一定范围内变化时输出电导的值有了明显的提高。同时,随着rbe的增大,输出电导曲线的最大负电导向左侧偏移,且电导曲线的凹陷程度降低,电纳曲线的变化趋于缓和。因此,在实际的振荡器设计中,应综合考虑rbegm对起振条件的影响,从而选取最优的起振电流。
