In medium-range magnetic field communication
links over 100 m, the received signal becomes
weak due to reduced coupling, and its sensitivity
and demodulation performance are severely
degraded by 60 Hz power-line interference and
external broadband noise. To address these issues,
this paper proposes an IC-based miniaturized
receiver front-end composed of a low-noise
amplifier (LNA) and a band-pass filter (BPF). The
BPF was implemented using the LTC1562 with
tunable center frequency and bandwidth, while the
LNA was realized as a non-inverting amplifier
based on the VCA821 with programmable gain.
Experimental results show that the proposed
front-end improves EVM from 10.9% to 4.2% and
Eb/N0 from 25.3 dB to 35.2 dB, achieving about 10
dB gain in Eb/N0 and a 61% reduction in EVM.
These results confirm that the proposed compact
IC-based receiver front-end is effective for
improving weak-signal reception and demodulation
quality in magnetic field communication systems.
