Abstract

The propagation characteristics of body channel are the fundamental issue of intra-body communication system design. The measurements of the body channel cover the frequency range from 300 kHz to 5 MHz and the channel length of 30 cm, 90 cm and 150 cm. Individual difference and movement states are introduced as measurement parameters. A data processing method is created to offset the systematic error, which means calibration-free is realized. By analyzing the measurement results, the authors determine a suitable frequency range for intra-body communication.
