Modelling and characterization of electrostatic current noise induced mechanically in wired wearable applications

By means of statistical modelling and measurement, the triboelectric current noise spectral density is evaluated for shielded cables in body-borne wired network subjected to mechanical stresses. Assuming a shot noise model, an expression for the current spectral density of the noise is derived. The efficiency of the methodology is demonstrated by measuring the triboelectric current noise in two shielded cables subjected to bending. Thereafter the parameters of the noise pulses' waiting time and amplitude probability density functions are extracted from measurement, thus enabling the computation of the current spectral density of the noise induced mechanically in body-borne wired networks.
