For wireless capsule endoscopy, high quality images need to be transmitted from inside the digestive tract to an on-body receiver. Ultra wideband transmission offers the possibility to achieve much larger data rates than achievable with today's technology. To design such an ultra wideband transmission system a comprehensible channel model is needed for simulation of the propagation behavior through the human abdomen. In this paper we present a stochastic channel model, that includes the variation of the radio propagation depending on the location of a receive antenna on the body as well as on the physiological properties of different human body models.
