RedTaton is a new -uman Area Networ!ing tehnology that uses the surfae
of the human body as a safe) high speed networ! transmission path.
RedTaton uses the minute eletri fieldemitted on the surfae of the human
body. Tehnially) it is ompletely distint from wireless and infrared.

A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body omes
in ontat with a RedTaton transei&er. 5hysially separating ends the ontat
and thus ends ommuniation.
4sing RedTaton) ommuniation starts when terminals arried by the user or
embedded in de&ies are lin!ed in &arious ombinations aording to the userBs
natural) physial mo&ements.
Communiation is possible using any body surfaes) suh as the hands)
fingers) arms) feet) fae) legs or torso. RedTaton wor!s through shoes and
lothing as well.

tight diretionality of beams between terminals needed for the system to be effeti&e.

ould use the human body itself as a transmission medium) then this would be an ideal
way of implementing human area networ!s beause it would sol&e at a stro!e all the
problems inluding throughput redution) low seurity)and high net wor! setup osts.
The onept of intrabody ommuniation) whihuses the minute eletri field
propagated by the human body to transmit information) was first proposed by #8(.
The ommuniation mehanism has subse7uently been e&aluated and reported by
se&eral researh groups around the world. -owe&er) all those reported tehnologies
had two limitations ;/ the operating range through the body was limited to a few tens
of entimeters and 2/ the top ommuniation speed was only 9!bit@s. These
limitations arise from the use of an eletrial sensor for the reei&er. An eletrial
sensor re7uires two lines a signal line and a ground line/) whereas in intrabody
ommuniation there is
essentially only one signal line) i.e.) the body itself) whih leads to an unbalaned
transmission line) so the signal is not transmitted orretly.

PRINCIPLE OF REDTACTON
NTT has had e$ellent suess with an eletroopti sensor ombining an eletroopti
rystal with laser light and reently reported an appliation of this sensor for
measuring highfre7ueny eletroni de&ies 123) 13. The eletroopti sensor has
three !ey features ;/ it an measure eletri fields from a de&ie under test D4T/

measurement is possible) and / it supports onepoint ontat measurement that is
independent of the ground) whih is the most signifiant feature in the present onte$t.
NTT utiliFed this third feature to fabriate an intrabody ommuniation reei&er for its
human area networ!ing tehnology) whih is alled RedTatonG. The operating
priniple of RedTaton is illustrated in Fig. 2. The eletri field indued toward the
body by the transmitter=s signal eletrode is represented by Ea. The system re7uires a
ground lose to the transmitter signal eletrode) so eletri field Eb indued from the
body an follow a return path to the transmitter ground.
(oreo&er) sine people are usually standing on a floor or the ground) eletri field E
esapes from the body to ground) mainly from the feet. The eletri field Es that
reahes the reei&er is Es H Ea EbI E/. #t ouples to the eletroopti rystal and
hanges the rystal=s optial properties. This hange is deteted by laser light and
transformed into digital data by a detetor iruit.
