Funded Activity Summary

The human body as an antenna for a novel wireless communication technique. This project aims to develop a novel wireless communication technique by utilising the human body as an antenna to connect wearable electronic devices to nearby external devices. This project expects to generate a new knowledge in the area of wireless body area network using the innovative approach of applying the near-field electromagnetic energy around the human body as a wireless channel. Expected outcomes of this project include a wireless channel model that will enable the design of ultra-low-power and reliable off-body wireless link for wearable devices. This should provide significant benefits, such as, cost-effective and innovative technology of personal wireless communication in healthcare, entertainment, military, and sports.
