Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In recent years, research on wearable robots has been very active in the medical, welfare and industrial fields. Myoelectric hands are one kind of werable robots. It is a device that operates by means of myoelectric signal generated when the muscles are stretched and constracted. At present, the myoelectric sensor and the motor control unit of a myoelectric hand are mainly connected by a wire, but from the point of view of convenience and maintenance, a wireless connection is expected. In this study, a communication module that receives and demodulates the modulation signals sent from a transmitter is implemented on a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) on a small board and its perfomance is evaluated. As a modulation method for signals transmitted from the transmitter, the IR-MPPM (Impulse Radio - Multi Pulse Position Modulation) method is adopted, which is expected to provide high-speed transmission, and has low power spectral density and little interference to peripheral devices. The communication module uses the 10-60 MHz band, which is a weak radio band in Japan. The demodulation method of the receiver designed in this study employs an energy detection method where the energy values of the modulation signals are calculated and compared to each other. In order to evaluate the performance, sinusoidal signals and pseudo-muscle signals from a biological signal generator were input to the transmitter, and the modulated signals were demodulated by the receiver module designed in this study. The performance was evaluated by calculating the correlation coefficient between the demodulated signal and the transmitted signal.
