Abstract :
In this paper, the measurement results on the effects of ground electrode according to the transmission distance are presented. A biological tissue-equivalent phantom has been used in the measurement of a previous paper, but a real human body is used in this paper. Also, the measurement results are analyzed by EM simulation. In the previous papers K. Fujii et al. (2003)-(2002), the simulation model for human body has been composed of only muscle tissue. In this paper, a more accurate model composed of muscle and other tissues is used during the simulation. Finally, the method by which a ground electrode can be used more efficiently is proposed based on the measurement results
