Abstract

A heart generated signal is provided by a heart sensor of a mobile device to an analog to digital (A/D) converter for A/D converting the sensor provided signal. The A/D converted heart signal is processed to provide heart rate. The heart rate is recorded or stored in the mobile device or is transmitted in a wireless communication system. The mobile device receives sensor provided Electro Cardiogram (ECG) signal. The ECG signal is stored or is provided to an interface unit. The mobile device has transceivers for receiving and transmitting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signals and for modulating and transmitting spread spectrum baseband signals. The spread spectrum baseband signals have cross-correlated in-phase and quadrature-phase filtered baseband signals.
