Abstract :
An experimental methodology to characterize the RF transmission of human body has been presented. It is a great challenge to ensure that the antennas used in the measurement will not be affected by the presence of the human body tissues, which is the key factor in order to characterize the RF transmission accurately and reliably. The proposed methodology of using tissue-embedded antennas has been validated to offer the desired results.
