Embedding of electronics in clothing raises the demand for wireless interconnections for short distances. A low-power transmitter-receiver concept of low-complexity is a crucial factor for maintaining low costs and battery life in a distributed on-body sensor network. This paper presents such a transmission system based on inductive coupling giving a locomotion sensor mounted on the boot as example.
