Abstract :
Starting from a real-time dynamic measurement campaign performed at 2.45 GHz, this paper presents the results obtained on the study of the space and time correlation for Off-Body channels. The former evaluates the relationship between fading effects characterising different links, whereas the time correlation of a single channel studies its stability over time. Several on-body node positions are considered and the results obtained with two antenna designs and in different measurement conditions are presented and compared.
