Characterization of Human Skin Using THz Time Domain Spectroscopy for In-Body Nanonetworks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the intrinsic material properties of human skin via THz Time Domain Spectroscopy have been investigated in a working frequency range from 0.1-1.5 THz. These measured material parameters are utilized to characterize the channel for inbody nano-networks. The sample for spectroscopic study is the real human skin and repeated measurements have provided consistent refractive index and absorption coefficient results. The refractive index in the working frequency range is 1.5, while abortion coefficient is 56 cm at 1 THz.

Using an optoelectronic THz beam system for THz time-domain spectroscopy ~THz TDS!, we have measured the absorption and index of refraction of a conducting polypyrrole film from low frequencies to 2.5 THz. From these measurements, the dc conductivity of 215/~V cm! and the complex conductance were obtained over this frequency range. All of the results were well fit by Drude theory, which gives a...
متن کاملDetection and electrical characterization of hidden layers using time-domain analysis of terahertz reflections
We use a time-domain analysis method to characterize the outer layer of a multilayer structure regardless of the inner ones, thus simplifying the characterization of all the layers. We combine this method with THz reflection spectroscopy to detect nondestructively a hidden aluminum oxide layer under opaque paint and to measure its conductivity and high-frequency dielectric constant in the THz r...
