Outline of Final Research Achievements

We proposed a near-field coupling communication (NFCC) system composed of not only transceivers on the body (wearable TRX) but also transceivers embedded in floors, PCs, equipments, etc (embedded TRX). Therefore, our system broadens the fields of application. To estimate the transmission quality of our system, we measured the packet error rates (PER) between a wearable TRX and an embedded TRX. We also developed an electrically isolated probe consisting of an electrical-to-optical (E/O) converter and an optical-to-electrical (O/E) converter. It is demonstrated that the measurement system using an E/O and O/E conversion probe is effective to achieve a stable communication system. Based on the experimental and simulated results, an equivalent circuit of the NFCC system was proposed. From the analytical model, we identified the cause of the interference problem and quality deterioration. We also found that weakening the effects of this factor was important to achieve a stable NFCC link.
