| Research Abstract |
Intra-body communication is a new data transmission method that uses human body as part of the transmission medium. Detailed numerical human body model for electromagnetic analysis has been simplified by using only three layers of body tissues, namely, skin, fat, and muscle, without sacrificing the accuracy of analysis. Shape modification is much easier with this three-layered model, and this structure is also suitable for fabricating phantom for experiments. Its electrical characteristic is closer to human body than that of the ordinary phantom made of homogeneous material.
