Abstract
This paper presents an investigation of the electromagnetic propagation around the human body at 94GHz. The characterization of the communication channel for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is provided in terms of path loss by considering different receiver and transmitter positions. The analysis includes both measurements and numerical simulations, showing reasonable agreement between the two set of results.
