Abstract

A numerical analysis of the electromagnetic propagation in a body centric scenario at 60 GHz is presented in this paper. Both a full wave technique, based on a parallel Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) and a ray tracing method, based on a combination of Geometrical Optics and Uniform Theory of Diffraction (GO-UTD), have been used. The results have been compared in terms of path loss values.
