Abstract:
Ultrasonic waves have good propagation in the human body and have been widely applied in biomedical device design without any reported side effects. Therefore, ultrasonic waves can provide an alternative method as an information carrier for body sensor networks (BSNs). This paper presents a novel wireless communication method that uses ultrasonic sound waves as a medium for healthcare systems. We investigated the feasibility of our proposal by testing it in a real digital communication experimental setup. To find an acceptable modulation method, the functionality of the proposed ultrasound-based digital communication approach was tested involving three principal modulation methods: amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), and phase shift keying (PSK). The modulated digital signals obtained from the experiments were compared with the simulated signals. Analysis of the results shows that ultrasonic waves are feasible and can be used for digital communication.
