The method of Mach-Zehnder electro-optical modulation is applied to Intra-Body Communication (IBC), where the modeling and characterization of this type of IBC are discussed. The mathematical model of the electrostatic coupling IBC based on Mach-Zehnder electro-optical modulation is developed. The main characteristics of this IBC form have been simulated within the frequency range of 200 kHz-40 MHz and compared to in-vivo measurements, with close agreements. Results show that the proposed method will help achieving good temperature characteristics, small size, and lower power consumption IBC system.
