Abstract
Studies of wearable computers have attracted public attention in these days. And one of the area of interest is the communication system adopted in those wearable computers. As anexample, wearable devices which use the human body as a transmission channel, have been developed. This communication system uses near field region of the electromagnetic wave generated by the device which is eventually coupled to human body by electrodes. However, little is known about the transmission mechanism of such devices in the physical layer. In this paper, we proposed calculation model of the transmitter attached to the arm of whole body in radio anechoic chamber using the FDTD method. From this model, we estimated the electric field distribution around the human body.
