Abstract
This paper presents a the study of on-body communications at millimeter waves. An analytical formulation is proposed by assuming a dipole source radiating on a flat skin, whose permittivity is suitably chosen to model human tissues at those frequencies, according to previous investigation. An experimental setup, consisting of two open-ended waveguides placed on the top of a skin-equivalent phantom, is then discussed in order to validate the theoretical analysis.
