the human body is the key technology for continuous, automated, and unobtrusive monitoring of physiological signals. Recently, the IEEE Standards Association established a wireless body-area-network (WBAN) standard for a short-range, low-power and highly reliable wireless communication around the human body [1]. According to the standard, WBAN is composed of a common MAC layer that supports scalable QoS and three PHYs, narrowband (NB), ultrawideband (UWB), and human body communication (HBC) PHY. The HBC, which uses the human body as a communication channel, has remarkable advantages in energy efficiency over NB and UWB, since 1) it has lower path loss without the body shadowing effect of RF communication, and 2) it utilizes electrodes as a communication interface rather than a low-impedance antenna [2]. With these
