Abstract

In this paper, we propose a ZCD (Zero Correlation Duration) code based Ultra Wide Band(UWB) MODEM(modulation and demodulation) technique for WBAN as a hunman body wireless communication operating in WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) environment. We certified ZCD code based UWB schemes are available for hunman body wireless communications by various simulation and performance analysis using WBAN transmission channels. Furthermore, we suggested some possibility of RFIC implementation related to human body based UWB communication module by presenting some related examples.

본 논문에서는 WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network)환경하에서 운용되는 인체 무선 통신기술로서, ZCD (Zero Correlation Duration) 코드기반의 WBAN용 Ultra Wide Band(UWB)변복조기술을 제시하고, WBNA채널환경하에서의 모의실험 및 성능분석을 통하여, ZCD-UWB통신기술이 인체 무선통신용 기술로서도 유용하게 활용될수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 UWB변복조 기술을 인체에 적용하여 RFIC화 할 경우에 고려할수 있는 사례를 소개하고 검토사항을 간략히 제시함으로써, 인체 무선통신용 UWB통신소자의 RFIC화의 가능성을 제시하였다.
