Abstract(in English) This report describes ultra wideband (UWB) radio propagation measurements and modeling for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications in different environments. Most propagation measurement campaigns and associated modelings have been so far carried out in either a radio anechoic chamber or a specific room type; and hence, dependence of the radio propagation on surrounding environments has not been reported. The UWB path losses between a transmitter and a receiver, both attached to a human body, were measured in five rooms with different volume. Parameters in a conventional loss model derived from the measurements were found to highly correlate to room volume. A modified model considering the impact of room volume has been proposed. Different propagation mechanisms were discussed along with parameter derivation.
