Abstract

With the deep research of galvanic coupling type intra-body communication, the development of sensor technology, using a sensor in the service of mankind is a very important subject. According to the quasi static galvanic coupling characteristics, the sensors distributed in the tested signals site, detected biological signals, converts the signal into a galvanic signal; the sensor as the transmitting electrodes to transmit signal to human. The improved PDA contact with the body in any part of the body, will become the received sensor signal, thereby restoring signal. Sensor, PDA formed body communication network in the connections of human body.
