Evaluation of Transmission Electrode for Transcutaneous Communication System Using Human Body as Conductive Medium

摘要

Electrical property between on electrode and the tissue on skin influences communication performance of the transcutaneous communication system (TCS). We investigated optimum transmission electrodes by measuring electrode-skin impedance and electrode-tissue impedance in vitro experiments. From the results, a stainless steel electrode and a titanium mesh electrode have the minimum electrode-skin and electrode-tissue impedance and each electrode is a suitable for an external and internal TCS unit respecting.
