A novel measurement strategy to evaluate the human head as a transition medium for inductive ear-to-ear communication.
Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical Engineering 2018 June 13
This manuscript introduces a novel concept for measuring coil coupling for extremely loose-coupled coils (coupling factors k<10-6; mutual inductance values M<10-10 H). Such a coupling is found everywhere where the ratio of solenoid diameter to coil spacing is >50. Measuring these quantities with a low-power technology requires a sophisticated setup that goes beyond the sensitivity of state-of-the art approaches. The methodology is validated using laboratory measurements with three sets of solenoids (two ferrite-cored, one air-cored) and numerical simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a, Stockholm, Sweden. The concept is then employed to investigate the channel characteristics for inductive through-the-head communication within the 3.155-3.195 MHz band. This selected part of the spectrum is in accordance with International Telecommunication Union Radio Regulation 5.116 for low-power wireless hearing aids. By applying a phantom solution, we demonstrate that human tissue layers are transparent for magnetic fields within these frequencies. However, the influence from the relative coil arrangement is evaluated in detail as it restricts the communication range significantly. The coupling results for off-the-shelf Sonion, Roskilde, Denmark, RF 02 AA 10 solenoids considering both lateral and axial displacements might be of special interest for a number of near-field applications.
