An Efficient Full-Wave Electromagnetic Analysis for Capacitive Body-Coupled Communication

Figure 5

3D full-wave EM simulation results compared with Philips measurement results [1, 16, 17] for the skin-only-rectangle (Sk-Rec) human body model with (a) vertical couplers [4 × 4 × 1] for A2A3 and A2A4 path lengths (the coloured symbols show variations in Philips measurements with respect to coupler dimensions, separation, construction, and body position/movements), (b) horizontal couplers [5 × 2 × 1] having different orientations for A2A3 path length.
