Abstract :
In this paper we present a channel measurement campaign in indoor environment aiming the characterization of the angular properties of the channel in the presence of the human body. Measurements were performed by using isolated UWB antenna and body-mounted antenna on different positions. Multipath components are estimated by means of SAGE algorithm. From these estimations, clusters are detected and characterized in the delay and angular domains.
