Abstract:
Ultra-wideband propagation measurement results for body area network scenarios are presented. We assumed several different scenarios for around-body and on-body propagations, and for each scenario, we conducted both time domain and frequency domain measurements in an anechoic chamber. For the around-body case, we investigated the effects of human body parts blocking line-of-sight, which could be accounted for by diffraction. On-body measurement results indicate a more complicated propagation mechanism exists in on-body propagation than in around-body propagation and antenna characteristics are affected.
