Abstract

In-body communication is an upcoming field with significant implications for medical diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. Microbubbles have gained attention due to their distinct physical properties, making them promising candidates to facilitate communication within the human body. This work explores the use of microbubbles as communication carriers, with a particular focus on their detection and the application of a modulation scheme. Through experimental analysis the feasibility and effectiveness of microbubble-based communication is tested. Filtering and peak detection methods are applied to accurately identify the presence of microbubbles despite noise, demonstrating the feasibility of microbubble-based communication systems for future biomedical applications. The results offer insights into signal integrity, noise challenges, and the optimization of detection algorithms, providing a foundation for future advancements in this field.
