A scalable 2.9mW 1Mb/s eTextiles body area network transceiver with remotely powered sensors and bi-directional data communication by Desai, Nachiket, Yoo, Jerald, Chandrakasan, Anantha P.

“…Recently proposed communication systems using wireless body area networks [1,2] and body-coupled communication [3] suffer from high path loss around the human body for efficient remote power delivery. In contrast, eTextiles are becoming an increasingly popular technology for efficiently powering and communicating with such sensors [4-6] due to wide coverage around the human body combined with low path loss and comfort of use.…”
