Abstract(in English) With the rapid growth of wireless communication technology, body area network (BAN) is expected as one of promising applications in medical and healthcare fields. In implant BANs, high-speed and reliable communication between the inside and outside of a human body is required. Ultra wideband (UWB) low-band is a candidate of the frequency bands that satisfies the requirement of high speed implant communications in aid of its broad bandwidth. However, since the UWB low-band suffers from large attenuation through the human body, it isdifficult to realize reliable communications. To solve this problem, in this paper, we applied a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) scheme to implant UWB communications. Then we conducted a bit error rate (BER) measurementexperiment of the MIMO transmission system using UWB low-band with a human equivalent liquid phantom. The results demonstrated the efficiency of the MIMO transmission under the implant UWB communication environment.
