Abstract :
This paper reviews recent results on radiowave propagation measurements, models and electromagnetic analysis methods for 60 GHz body-area networking (BAN) applications. The viability of mm-wave BANs is discussed and established. The advantages of adopting a mm-wave band for body area networking over lower frequency microwave bands are discussed and quantified. Finally, a number of outstanding research challenges are identified.
