Abstract

An on- and off- combined body channel path loss (PL) model, along with its link realistic antennas effects, is developed in this paper. Based on a heterogeneous human body phantom and the verified antenna structures, the PL parameters of this model are extracted through the SEMCAD simulated results. This PL model is finally verified experimentally on a volunteer body.
