Frequency Dependence of UWB In-Body Radio Channel Characteristics

[EN] In this letter, a research of ultra-wideband in-body channel by using a high accurate phantom is performed in order to evaluate the impact of frequency dependence of human tissues on the channel characteristics. Hence, a phantom-based measurement campaign from 3.1 to 5.1 GHz has been conducted....

Sumario:[EN] In this letter, a research of ultra-wideband in-body channel by using a high accurate phantom is performed in order to evaluate the impact of frequency dependence of human tissues on the channel characteristics. Hence, a phantom-based measurement campaign from 3.1 to 5.1 GHz has been conducted. From postprocessing data, the path loss is assessed considering subbands of 500 MHz as well as the entire frequency range under test. In addition, the correlation in transmission is computed and discussed.
