    Abstract

    Near-field coupling communication (NFCC) is a technology that uses the surface of the human body as a transmission path in the MHz band. It is necessary to assess the signal loss on the body to ensure stable NFCC links. The dependence of signal loss on different positions on the body was measured with a transmitter powered by a battery and an electrically isolated probe as a receiver. The dependence of signal loss on different poses of the body was also measured. The electric-field distributions on the body were evaluated with a high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). Results demonstrated that the signal loss is affected by both the shape and the pose of the body.
