Abstract :
Indoor on-body channel measurements at 900MHz are presented in this contribution. The results are essential for the realization of power and spectrum efficient wireless communication in body area networks. Transmission and reflection coefficients of four different on-body links are investigated versus stationary and moving body postures. Measurements are performed by means of a vector network analyzer. The results show good agreement with predictions obtained by computer simulation.
