  • Abstract
    This paper presents the characterization of the path loss in ultrawide band body area networks. A Measurement campaign was performed in the anechoic chamber and in an indoor environment for comparison. The propagation along the front part of the body was analyzed, and the effect of the body movements on the signal strength was investigated. The results demonstrated that the normal distribution provides the best fit for modeling the path loss.
