Abstract：

Intra-body　Communication　(EBC),　which　utilizes　the　human　body　act　as　communication　channel,　offers　a　novel　technology　for　information　exchange　in　Biomedical　Engineering　(BME)　field.　Galvanic-type　IBC　has　been　a　promising　choice　for　IBC　because　of　its　advantages　like　lesser　interference　to　the　nearby　environment　and　lower　frequency　operation.　Bit　Error　Rate　(BER)　is　a　standard　figure　of　merit　to　indicate　the　error　performance　of　communication　channel.　For　low　frequency　and　low　transmit　rate　in　galvanic-type　IBC,　the　traditional　method　of　BER　measurement　is　time-consuming.　Furthermore,　to　measure　through　the　human　body　for　such　a　long　time　is　neither　practical　nor　feasible　without　physiological　changes.　In　order　to　evaluate　the　error　performance　of　galvanic-type　IBC,　this　paper　presents　an　alternate　approach　to　investigate　BER　values　of　the　channel　and　verifies　its　behaviors　with　human　lower　arm　experiment.　After　comparing　the　experimental　results　and　theoretical　calculation　based　on　ideal　Additive　White　Gaussian　Noise　(AWGN)　channel,　it　is　found　that　their　traces　have　similar　agreement.　Besides,　the　experimental　phenomenon　indicates　the　assumptions　that　channel　noise　of　galvanic-type　IBC　has　AWGN　characteristic　are　reasonable　and　applicable　in　some　regions.　©　2014　IEEE.
