讲座内容：

In recent years, compelling electromagnetic technologies such as human body communication (HBC) and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) have been widely studied and used in many different applications including healthcare, nursing, sports, assistive tools for workers, and so on. HBC utilizes the human body as a transmission medium to transmit or receive wireless signals, and it serves as one of promising physical layer solutions for body area networks (BANs).

HBC and ISAC can be implemented in a wide range of smart and small wearable devices, such as healthcare bands, smart watches, smart glasses, etc. These devices contain transmitters, receivers and various sensors. Equivalent circuit models including many resistors and capacitors have been usually employed for practical design of such wearable devices. However, the design is sometimes sensitive to changes of device locations, human-body size and shape, surrounding environments, etc.

In our laboratory, we have studied body-centric wireless communications including HBC numerically and experimentally over the wide frequency range. With basic models and techniques, we can design and optimize wearable devices and predict characteristics of the communication channels. Furthermore, we can estimate and control specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions inside the human body.

For R&D of wearable devices, it is essential to evaluate interactions between a human body and electromagnetic waves radiated from built-in antennas. It seems difficult to use a real human body for experimental evaluation of antenna performances. Instead, computer simulation is usually performed with digital human-body models. However, experiments with physical human-body phantoms are indispensable to validate the results of numerical simulations or to minimize animal experiments.

讲座内容：

It is well known that two pieces of electrical conductor behave as a waveguide when they are employed to transmit AC signals. For instance, the inner conductor and outer conductor of a co-axial cable jointly guide dynamic electromagnetic wave propagation inside the co-axial cable. When two pieces of electrical conductor are employed to transmit a DC signal, the two pieces of conductor do not behave as a waveguide in theory. A DC voltage produces a static electric field, and a DC current produces a static magnetic field. According to Maxwell’s equations, a static electric field and a static magnetic field are de-coupled from each other, and consequently, they do not jointly support electromagnetic wave propagation. In theory, a DC signal starts at “time = ??” and ends at “time = +?.” Nevertheless, in practice, a DC signal must be turned on at a certain “turn-on moment” and turned off at a certain “turn-off moment.” Generally, a DC signal cannot be established instantaneously at the turn-on moment; rather, a transient state with a certain time span is necessary for the DC signal to be established. Similarly, a “turn-off transient state” is usually necessary for the DC signal to vanish gradually. Since the “turn-on transient state” and “turn-off transient state” both rely on electromagnetic wave propagation, the DC signal in between these two transient states ought to be sustained by electromagnetic wave propagation as well. This talk presents some experimental and theoretical studies on the electromagnetic wave propagation in DC circuits. In the experimental studies, a 5-MHz sinusoidal signal, a 500-Hz sinusoidal signal, and a DC signal are compared among each other when they are turned on, after they are established over a piece of long co-axial cable, and when they are turned off. The experimental results do not demonstrate any fundamental differences among the 5-MHz signal, 500-Hz signal, and DC signal in terms of propagation over the co-axial cable. Based on the experimental results, the well-known formulations of AC wave propagation are extended to DC wave propagation. The experimental and theoretical studies jointly indicate that DC electrical power is transported by electromagnetic wave propagation in practice.
