Body Channel Communication (BCC) is a short-range communication method that exploits the human body as medium to transmit electrical signals. BCC is very appealing for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications because it guarantees a much lower power consumption respect to RF communication, is less affected by signal leakage and external interference and is inherently secure since the signal remains confined in the proximity of the human body. In this thesis, a BCC system which exploits capacitive coupling is tested in terms of SNR, Total error rate and Packet error rate in different configurations. When a subject wears the receiver on bare skin or different tissues SNR ranges between 30 dB and 40 dB, whereas Total error rate is below 40%.
