Abstract :
Human body communication is expected as a new human interface for communications among several persons. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the transmission characteristics between human bodies. In this paper, we compared the transmission characteristics between transmitter and receiver in the viewpoint of contact situation between two bodies. Moreover, the effect of receiver position on transmission characteristics was analyzed. From the analysis, it was found that the transmission characteristics were affected by the position of the receiver. On the other hand, contact situation between two bodies has little influence on the transmission characteristics.
