Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a body sensing acquisition system, and more particularly to a body sensing acquisition system that combines signal transmission and reception. [Prior Art] Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a block diagram of a conventional personal area network. It is known that the Personal Area Network (PAN) 10 is used as a medium for signal transmission and communication. The conventional personal area network 10 includes a transmitter 11, a first electrode 12, a second electrode 13, and a receiver 14. The transmitter 11 includes an encoder 111 and a transmission amplifier 112. The signal is input to the encoder 111, and the signal is encoded and amplified by the transmitting amplifier 112, and transmitted to the first electrode I2 contacting the human body, and the signal is received by the second electrode 13 contacting the human body via the human body as a medium. The receiver 14 includes a receive amplifier 141 and a decoder 142. The receiving amplifier 141 amplifies the signal received by the second electrode 13 and decodes it by the decoder I42 to obtain the original signal. The disadvantage of the conventional personal area network 10 is that it can only be used for unilateral signal transmission or unilateral signal reception. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an innovative and progressive body sensing acquisition system that combines signal transmission and reception to solve the above problems.
