Owing to the mobility of a wearable antenna and unpredictable body-centric communications environment, dual-polarization antennas are essential for both energy harvesting. This paper presents dual-polarized four-port textile antenna/rectenna simultaneous wireless information power transfer (SWIPT) applications. The proposed utilizes dual ports off-body communication harvesting from horizontal v...

background: it is well documented that coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) with cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) causes ischemia and oxidative stress of the whole body. to compare the effect of on – pump and off –pump cabg on the induction of the oxidative stress and the metabolism of homocysteine which is involved in the synthesis of glutathione was investigated in the cabg patients during the ...

In this paper, subject-specific narrowband (2.45 GHz) and ultra-wideband (3–10.6 GHz) on-body radio propagation studies in wireless body area networks (WBANs) were performed by characterizing the path loss for eight different human subjects of different shapes and sizes. The body shapes and sizes of the test subjects used in this study are characterised as thin, medium build, fatty, shorter, av...

Human body communication (HBC) is a promising wireless technology that uses the human body as part of the communication channel. HBC operates in the near-field of the high frequency (HF) band and in the lower frequencies of the very high frequency (VHF) band, where the electromagnetic field has the tendency to be confined inside the human body. Electromagnetic interference poses a serious relia...

background a strong association between obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) has been reported. objectives this study was conducted to evaluate if new obesity indices, including a body shape index (absi) and body roundness index (bri), have stronger associations with nafld than waist-to-hip ratio (whr) and waist-to-height ratio (whtr). methods in this cross-sectional study, we ...

In this paper magnetically-coupled human body communications (MHBC) is investigated. In human body communications (HBC) the human body is the transmission medium through which wireless sensors and actuators in, on or in close proximity to the human body exchange information. MHBC, unlike the more common galvanic and capacitive coupled HBC, is less affected by the proximity to the surrounding en...

Coded continuous phase modulation based on a feedback–free modulator with noncoherent detection is discussed. Low–complexity receiver processing is achieved by using only two or three linear filters for demodulation and applying noncoherent sequence estimation with reduced–state Viterbi decoding and simple branch metric calculation. Overall, the proposed noncoherent receiver provides significan...
