Abstract

Intra-Body communication (IBC) is a short-range body based communication using the human body as the transmission medium in biomedical application. Quasi-static electric field modeling of the galvanic coupling IBC channel is analyzed; Analytical solution of voltage distribution and signal attenuation in the forearm of human body from the model are investigated; Effects of human limb’s properties in the model are studied. Finally, in vivo validation and calculation results are presented. Especially, the gain is greatly affected by the thickness of muscle both in calculation result and in vivo experiment.

Keywords: intra-body communication quasi-static in vivo validation thickness of muscle
