Abstract
In the research field of several biomedical disciplines a major need e xists for reliable and implantable telemetry sensor systems. Apart fro m the demands for small size, light weight and long operational lifeti me, the sensor systems should preferably also be flexible, versatile a nd intelligent. As a follow-up of previous work, a novel and more powe rful transponder is developed, specifically tailored for applications in large-scale animal husbandry. It is a read-write telemetry device b ased on a microprocessor configuration, containing a dedicated sensor interface chip (SIC), SMD thermistor and subminiature capacitive accel erometers.
