Abstract :
For designing reliable and low-power wireless body area network (WBAN) systems, channel modeling plays an important role. However, coupling between antennas and a human body hinders from separately modeling their individual contributions. Therefore, this paper proposes an antenna de-embedding scheme that is based on the channel modeling by means of spherical wave functions (SWFs). A preliminary validation is also presented.
