Abstract :
In the present paper, the equivalent circuit of the intra-body communication channels inducing conduction currents inside the human body was derived based on MoM analyses. According to the results, the capacitance of the circuit considerably increases if both the signal and ground electrodes are attached to the human body. In this case, the potential of the circuit board is stabilized and that of the human body is raised up, and so the electric field and the received voltage can be enhanced.
