Dependence of On-Body Propagation Channels on Bandwidths Considering Surrounding Environments
Miyuki Hirose, Takehiko Kobayashi (Tokyo Denki Univ.) WBS2013-24
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The authors have focused on wideband, including Ultra-wideband (UWB, 3.1 to 10.6 GHz), radio propagation in various environments. Many studies have been reported about indoor propagation for narrowband and wideband. However previous study has not been examined characteristics between 10-MHz and 1-GHz frequencies. In our previous study, UWB and narrowband propagation were measured in a UWB frequency band within closed/semi-closed spaces (e.g. the spacecraft, passenger-car, and a metal desk equipped with a metal partition). While narrowband propagation resulted in considerable spatial variations in propagation gain due to interferences caused by multipath environments, UWB yielded none. This implies that the UWB systems have an advantage over narrowband from a viewpoint of reducing fading margins. UWB technologies have been considered for use in wireless body area networks (WBAN) because of their possible low power consumption and anti-multipath capabilities. A series of propagation measurements campaign were carried out between on-body antennas in five different rooms. A new path loss and statistical models considering room volume had been proposed. In this paper, we evaluated propagation characteristics in heavy multipath environments, especially examined the channels at 10-MHz to 1-GHz frequencies.
