Abstract
A receiver module (), transceiver module for body coupled communication devices () and a method of waking-up a body coupled receiver of a body coupled communication device () are provided. The receiver module () of the body coupled communication device () comprises couplers () for receiving signals via a body transmission channel () which follows a body of a user (). A wake-up receiver () and a main receiver () of the receiver module () are coupled to the couplers (). The main receiver () may operate in a sleep mode and in an operational mode. The wake-up receiver () generates a wake-up signal () when signals received via the body transmission channel () in a predefined spectral range exceed an energy threshold level. The wake-up signal () is provided to a circuitry of the body coupled communication device () to directly or indirectly configuring the main receiver () in the operational mode.
