Abstract

For Body Area Network (BAN) applications, Human Body Communication (HBC) is more secure and energy-efficient compared to radio frequency communications (RFC). HBC exploits the conductive nature of human body tissues as a communication channel instead of the air. To further drive the energy efficiency of HBC systems, duty cycling can be applied to reduce the on-time of HBC transceivers via utilizing a Wakeup Receiver (WuRx) that turns the main receiver on, only when needed. This paper introduces an ultra-low power WuRx with very high sensitivity compared to previously reported HBC WuRx. The proposed WuRx provides a sensitivity of -96.2dBm with an energy efficiency of 3.5 pJ/bit outperforming existing RF and HBC WuRxs. In addition, the proposed WuRx has the ability to detect false triggering to prevent any non-required signal from waking up the main receiver. The WuRx was implemented in 65 nm technology occupying an active area of 0.0016m m2.
