Path loss models for wireless communication channel along arm and torso: measurements and simulations

In this paper, measurements are performed on a real human using two half-wavelength dipoles, considering different parts of the human body separately. Path loss models are developed for the on- body channels along the arm and torso. The measurement results are verified with FDTD (Finite-Difference T...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, measurements are performed on a real human using two half-wavelength dipoles, considering different parts of the human body separately. Path loss models are developed for the on- body channels along the arm and torso. The measurement results are verified with FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) simulations, using an anatomically correct configuration of the arms.
