  • Abstract
    Body Area Network (BAN), which connects vital sensor nodes on and inside a human body wirelessly, is a promising technology for future health care. Because BAN should provide reliable links, radio channel property in the vicinity to the human body should be studied intensively. Simulation using FDTD (Finite-difference Time-domain) method is one of the common approaches.
