Abstract

In this study, electric parameters of human tissues are used to build the simplified numerical solution model of the research object with the software COMSOL Multiphysics. During modeling, potential distribution of electric signal in two models are analyzed on the basis of isotropy and anisotropy of human tissues respectively. It is concluded that, at a low frequency and near the electrodes, two models' potential errors are approximately 0.05-0.07V and the error ratio is about twenty percent. However, as the communication distance is increased, signal attenuation becomes greater so that the signal collected by the receiving electrode is very weak; therefore, a little potential error will lead to a great error ratio. In the high frequency mode, the capacitance effect of the tissues becomes more and more obvious, so the effect of human tissues' characteristics is not obvious.
