Abstract

Body Channel Communication (BCC) offers a low-loss signal transmission medium for ultra-low-power wearable devices on human body [1]. However, the effective communication range on human body is limited to less than 1m in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers [2], where the signal loss at the interface of body surface and BCC receiver remains to be one of the main bottlenecks. The limited communication range has blocked the popularization in many WBAN applications, such as signal transmission from to an intelligent insole to smart watch [3]. Relative to the high impedance of human body [4], the lower input impedance of BCC receiver induces significant signal loss. To reduce the interface loss, conventional interface front end (IFE) of BCC receivers was designed to be with a high input impedance [5], but the DC voltage bias decreased both the input impedance and signal gain of IFE.
