Abstract :
Emerging trend in the usage of millimeter-wave bands within Wireless Body Area Network represents nowadays an increasing interest. In this paper, potential benefits of millimeter-wave frequencies and especially the 60 GHz band for wireless medical applications as well as potential therapeutic applications are discussed. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of 60 GHz Wireless Body Area Sensor Network, the modeling of the 60 GHz channel propagation around the body becomes mandatory. The channel characteristics will be taken into account for the system specifications and performances and show favourable environments for the desired applications.
