Mathematical simulations of the galvanic coupling intra-body communication by using the transfer function method

  • Received Date:2010-09-02
  • The galvanic coupling intra-body communication (IBC) was mathematically simulated based on the proposed transfer function. Firstly, a galvanic coupling IBC circuit model was developed and the corresponding parameters were discussed. Secondly, the transfer function of the galvanic coupling IBC was derived and proposed. Finally, the signal attenuation characteristics of the galvanic coupling IBC were measured along different signal transmission paths of actual human bodies, while the corresponding mathematical simulations based on the proposed transfer function were carried out. Our investigation showed that the mathematical simulation results coincided with the measured results over the frequency range of 100.kHz to 5.MHz, which indicated that the proposed transfer function could be useful for theoretical analysis and application of the galvanic coupling IBC.
