Abstract
IEEE 802.15.6 standard has defined the human body communication (HBC) as one of physical layers for wireless body area networks in healthcare, medical and entertainment applications. In this study, we developed an impulse radio (IR) type transceiver for HBC application. The basic structure was described and its communication performance were evaluated. The results show a sufficient feasibility to realize a HBC transmission at a data rate as high as 1.2 Mbps along the human body surface.
