Antennas and Propagation for Body Centric Wireless Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, on-body propagation modelling has been investigated applying various numerical computational techniques. Propagation measurements with body-worn antennas have been carried out at 2.4GHz inside and outside an anechoic chamber respectively for narrowband communication channel characterisation. Both simulation and measurement results have been also obtained at the UWB (Ultra Wide-Band) band.
