WBAN Channel Modeling on Electromagnetic Interaction in Biological Tissues for Estimating Path Loss Characteristics

The increasing use of miniaturized noninvasive health monitoring devices have facilitated the growth and development of WBANs (Wireless Body Area Networks). Antennas used for this kind of applications are designed taking into account the properties of the biological medium on which they are to be placed. This paper presents results for deploying a channel model for on-body to on-body communication between two sensors placed on samples of animal tissue. The design and measurement results for the antenna, centered at 2.4GHz have been included.
