1. A body coupled communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transmitter module including a transmitter having outputs coupled to a pair of mutually opposed transmitter plates to provide a transmission signal, the transmitter plates having a first area (A1) and a first mutual distance (D1); and
a receiver module including a receiver coupled to a pair of mutually opposed receiver plates to receive a reception signal, the receiver plates having a second area (A2) and a second mutual distance D2, wherein a ratio (A1*D2) / (A2*D1) is at least 2, wherein the transmitter module and the receiver module are integrated in a carrier having a main surface, and wherein the pair of mutually opposed transmitter plates is aligned with the main surface of the carrier, and the pair of mutually opposed receiver plates is arranged transverse to the main surface at mutually opposite ends of the carrier.
