Abstract

Human body communication (HBC) technology provides a promising physical layer for wireless body area networks in healthcare, medical and entertainment applications. In this study, we developed an impulse radio (IR) type HBC transceiver for monitoring vital signals of drivers in a car. The basic structure of the transceiver was described and its communication performance were evaluated experimentally. The results show a sufficient feasibility to realize a HBC transmission at a data rate as high as 1.2 Mbps from the human chest to a fingertip.

Keywords: human body communication impulse radio transceiver bit error rate vital signal
