On-Body Area UWB Channel Modeling Including Reflection from Surroundings
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY This study aims how to contain the environment reflection in a dynamic on-body ultra wideband (UWB) channel model. Based on a measurement approach, it is demonstrated that a complete body area channel model can be regarded as a combination of the on-body propagation characteristic and additional components from the environment. Based on such a channel model, the effect of environment reflection on the average bit error rate performance was investigated for a typical impulse radio UWB system.

متن کاملImproved Antenna Mounting Method for UWB BAN Channel Measurements
In this paper, a mounting method is proposed for antennas used in ultra wideband (UWB) body area network (BAN) channel sounding, which reduces the antenna’s electromagnetic coupling to the human body. Coupling with the body is shown to distort the free space characteristics of the antenna. An antenna mount modification is proposed to reduce this distortion, and decrease the variation in antenna...
