Abstract
Intra-body communications is becoming a promising solution for Body Area Networks with a lot of interesting potential applications towards a ubiquitous communication world. Our research is based on the near-field radio, wherein electromagnetic radio signals are transmitted through the human body from a transmitter to a receiver. In contrast with current studies, we aim to study the transmission characteristics of the human body as a conductor of radio signals with higher frequency carriers (up to 1400MHz) in order to find an optimal frequency range for implementing, at last, broadband intra-body communications with high data rates. To achieve our first goal, we carry out experiments where we investigate the delay time profile and the attenuation of the received signal.
