技術說明

本專利技術提出一個近距離低功率毫米波雷達眼壓感測架構之整合技術，以完成一個眼壓偵測系統，做為青光眼疾病治療之輔助器具。整合金屬膜片在軟形隱型眼鏡上，並利用金屬膜片反射雷達波的原理，本感測系統可以感測眼球表面的電磁波反射量。對一個人而言，不同的眼壓將導致眼球的曲率半徑不同，而不同的曲率半徑將導致不同的電磁波反射量，所以偵測不同的反射量即可反應出不同眼壓的改變。是以本專利技術得以做為一個眼壓偵測系統。本專利技術架構還包括一個低功率毫米波雷達收發機晶片及微型波導管的設計概念，使得雷達感測元件整體可開發成一微小體積之感應元件，並易於整合在可穿戴載具(如眼鏡) 上、手持載具上、或測試平臺上。 This patent technology provides a method of assembling a short-distance low-power millimeter-wave (mm-wave) radar and an intraocular pressure (IOP) sensor for a IOP detection system which can be a clinical tool for curing the disease of Glaucoma. By integrating a metal layer onto the contact lens and collecting the EM wave energy reflected by the metal layer, this detection system senses the reflection of energy from the eyeballs. For a Glaucoma patient, the different intraocular pressure leads to the difference of eyeball curvature and the amount difference of reflected EM energy. Therefore, the change of IOP can be detected by the change of reflected. This patent technology also includes the design concept of integrating a radar transceiver chip with a micro waveguide tube for the radar sensor. With these design methodologies, it is possible to develop a mini sensor component for the IOP detection instrument that can be integrated into a wearable, handheld, or station type.
