Abstract
The path loss between insulated dipole antennas in homogeneous human muscle tissue is investigated at 2.457 GHz and an in-body path loss model is derived. Simulations using the FDTD and the MoM methods show excellent agreement. Also, the low values of the deviations demonstrate an excellent agreement between the simulations and models.
