Abstract :
Body area network considering the external areas of human body is a promising new application. In order to develop efficient body area network system, a communication channel modeling is essential. However, there are few models considering the effect of human body. This paper reports the empirical Ultra wideband(UWB) channel model for body area network. Using the frequency domain measurement system, channel responses in anechoic chamber have been obtained. From the measurement results, the path loss property has been configured to the propagation environments. Furthermore the frequency dependent UWB channel correlation characteristics are investigated.
