Abstract
A communication device includes an RF (Radio Frequency) module, an integrated module, a first tuning circuit, a signal transmission line, and a first antenna element. The RF module generates an RF signal. The integrated module includes a SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) sensor and an HBC (Human Body Communication) module. The signal transmission line includes a central conductor and an external conductor. The RF signal is transmitted through the signal transmission line to the first antenna element. The first terminal of the HBC module is coupled through the first tuning circuit to the central conductor, and the second terminal of the HBC module is coupled to the external conductor.
