Channel Response for Implantable Pathways using Galvanic Human Body

We examine galvanic human body communication (HBC) in implantable settings. Five in-body pathways are identified and modelled in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1. The models are anatomically accurate and capture the frequency-dependent complex permittivity of each biological structure using the double Cole-Cole model.  These models are simulated using the finite element method. The resulting channel response data is used to abstract digital filters for software simulation of a communication chain. Thus, this dataset provides the magnitude and phase response for galvanic transmissions in various implantable pathways and can be used to develop software communication chains to further the development of wireless body area network (WBAN) technologies.
