Body coupled communication (BCC) is an efficient networking approach to body area network (BAN) based on Human-centric communication. The BCC provides interference only between humans in very close proximity. In this work, an efficient Physical layer (PHY) based digital transceiver) is designed for BCC. The digital transceiver Module mainly contains a Digital transmitter (TX) with Manchester encoder, clock synchronization unit, and Digital receiver (RX) with Manchester decoder. The TX and RX modules are designed using a finite state machine as per the IEEE 802.3 Standards. The complete work is also varied for BAN applications by connecting two Application layer transceivers and two Physical layer-based digital transceivers. The architecture is simulated in a Model-sim simulator. The complete Module is synthesized using different FPGA families, and the hardware design constraints are contrasted. The digital transceiver works at 231.28 MHz operating frequency, consumes 0.113W power, and provides a 7.7 Mbps data rate and 4.67 Kbps/Slice efficiency on Artix-7 FPGA. The proposed transceiver is also compared with existing digital transceivers with hardware constraints improvements.
