In this paper, we present the properties of a communication channel used for implantable devices. The human–body communication (HBC) channel was proposed for data communication in implantable devices. The impulse response was measured using a channel-mimicking model, which mimics electrical losses caused by human body tissues. Furthermore, we compared two types of channel-mimicking models to evaluate their applicability depending on the measurement environment. The resultant impulse responses of the HBC channel showed that HBC does not cause severe changes in the channel properties even when the implantable device is rotated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
