Electromagnetic Compatibility Considerations

This chapter addresses approaches to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) evaluation in body area communications. One is specific absorption rate (SAR) analysis for human safety, and the other is electromagnetic interference (EMI) analysis for implanted medical devices such as the cardiac pacemaker.
