INTRODUCTION
Near field electrostatic coupling vs. near field EM propagation
EM Waves generated from device Propagates through body

RF powering

PROPOSED IBC NETWORK AND THE IBC BIOMEDICAL SOC

Frequency response
characteristics of the humanbody channel are investigated

Receiving Electrode wrist Lowest path lost: from 200* to

600 MHz

CONCLUSION
First time, small size, low power consumption IBC biomedical SOC. Implemented IBC biomedical SOC is very suitable for applications
which require a long-time operation

Proposed receiver architecture is more suitable for portable and

wearable applications since it can be driven at an ultralow voltage of 0.5 V, which
