EQS Res-HBC A 65-nm Electro-Quasistatic Resonant 5240 μW Human Whole-Body Poweri

Abstract

Applications like connected healthcare through physiological signal monitoring and secure authentication using wearable keys can benefit greatly from the battery-less operation. Low-power communication along with energy harvesting is criti- cal to sustain such perpetual battery-less operation. Human body channel is known to be a promising alternative to wireless radio wave communication for low power operation through human body communication (HBC), as well as very recently demon- strated as a me
