Signal Transmission by Galvanic Coupling

Through the Human Body and inter facing

with real world

ABSTRACT: Galvanic coupling is a

promising approach for wireless interbody data transmission between sensors. Using the human body as a transmission medium for electrical signals becomes a novel data communication technique in biomedical monitoring systems. Galvanic coupling for intrabody communication denotes the technology of signal transmission through the body for nobody and implanted sensor communication. Thus, the human body becomes the transmission channel of the communication system. A profound understanding of its channel characteristics and the coupling impacts is required for defining the channel constraints and the subsequent system constraints of a transceiver design. Galvanic coupling follows the approach of coupling alternating current into the human body. The signal is applied differentially over two coupler electrodes and received differentially by two detector electrodes KEYWORDS: Galvanic coupling,

1 MHz In comparison to capacitive coupling applying static charged electrode, galvanic coupling provides alternating currents over multiple electrodes. Two coupler electrodes induce currents into the human tissue and two detector electrodes sense the potential differences. Ground is not required for reference as in the method of capacitive coupling. Electrical characterizations of the human body with respect to galvanic coupled current flow and identified differences between body parts are shown by Wegmueller et al. The feasibility of the technology has been proven, and its limits regarding tissue sensitivity and body geometry have been

assessed. The exposure guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection are defined via maximum contact current and current density. State-of the-art intrabody communication transceiver units for usage in close body proximity have been developed for battery powered sensors. However, comparison of different electrode types in the target frequency range has been missing, but the importance of optimal signal coupling became obvious and necessitated further investigation. In particular, there exist open points on the comparison of different electrode coupling materials and the size of the active electrode area.

shifted between two discrete values termed the mark frequency and the space frequency. Continuous phase forms of FSK exist in which there is no phase

discontinuity in the modulated signal. The example shown at right is of such a form. Other names for FSK are frequency-shift modulation and frequency-shift signaling.

The digital data communication and computer peripheral, binary data is transmitted by means of a carrier frequency which is shifted between two preset frequencies. This type of data transmission is called frequency shift keying technique. Frequency keying is a form of frequency modulation in which the carrier switches abruptly from one frequency to another on receipt of a command or keying signal. Most oscillator circuit can be subjected to FSK by simply designing them so that an alternative frequency determining component or parameter is selected on receipt of the key signal. The key signal or input signal may be delivered electro- mechanically via a

switch, electronically via transistor gate or via PC etc.

The XR – 2206 is the waveform generator specifically allocated for FSK use.

timing resistor is selected and the circuit operates at a frequency determined by R2 and C1. The XR-2206 IC can thus be frequency shift keyed by simply applying a suitable keying or pulse signal between pin 9 and the negative supply.

In this circuit the data signal to be modulated is out from PC through serial port.

9 pin ‘D’ type connector is used to interface the PC and FSK circuit in which 3 pin is transmitting pin. This pin is connected to base of the Q1 transistor. When high pulse is coming Q1 is conducting so collector and emitter is short

0V is given to input of the two serious inverter so -12V is given to 9th pin of XR-2206. When low pulse from PC Q1 transistor is in the cut off region so +12V is given to 9th pin of XR-2206 vice versa. Depending on the pulse on 9th pin the timing resistor R1 and R2 is selected from the pin 7 and 8 respectively. Here the capacitor C1 is kept constant. So XR-2206 generating two set of frequency 1200 Hz and 1400 Hz named as F1 and F2 respectively on the 11th pin. Then the frequency shifted output is given to RF transmitter.

Circuit Description:

The FSK demodulator is constructed by LM 565 phase locked loop. In the 565 PLL the frequency shift is usually accomplished by driving a VCO

pin 2 and output is taken from pin 7. In addition to the low pass filter, a three-stage RC filter is connected to pin 7 to remove the carrier from the output. The output pin 7 and reference pin 6 are connected to a comparator, which provide the output pulse. The free running frequency is set by VR1. Here we set the free running frequency is 1300Hz. It is also called as centre frequency. The input frequencies are 1200Hz and 1400Hz. When the input frequency is 1400Hz, the output 7th pin is higher then reference pin 6th the comparator provides the pulse at the output. When the input frequency is 1200Hz, the output 7th pin is lower than reference 6th pin the comparator provides the zero at the output. Now we are getting exact pulse as we transmit from transmitting side PC. The output pulse is given to receiver side PC or to the microcontroller. When output is given to microcontroller, the pulse is converted into 0 to 5v pulse with the help of transistor.

CONCLUSION

Galvanic coupling is a promising approach for intrabody communication. The versatile platform presented here offers sophisticated possibilities for signal application and data transmission using a differential pair of electrodes that are galvanically coupled to the human body. Different electrodes were compared with the proposed measurement system. Pregelled Swaromed electrodes feature lower coupling resistances compared to solid–gel electrodes. Nevertheless, solid– gel electrodes with lower capacitive values are superior to pregelled electrodes. With application-specific electrodes, the technology is enhanced. The proposed system will be miniaturized with the goal of realizing data transmission based on galvanic coupling in a biomedical system for monitoring vital functions.
