Path gain models for on-body communication systems at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz
In this paper, a couple of path gain models for onbody
communication systems are analyzed and compared.
The study is focused on the characterization of the propagation
channel between two wearable devices placed on a
human body, and operating at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. Wearable
wireless low-cost commercial modules and low-profile
annular ring slot antennas were used, and measurements were
performed for different radio links on a human body.
Measurement results have been compared with CST Microwave
Studio simulations by resorting to simplified body
models like flat, cylindrical, spherical, and ellipsoidal canonical
geometries. Characteristic parameters appearing in the
propagation models have been calculated for the analyzed onbody
channels and summarized in a concluding table
