Statistical Modeling of the Human Body as an Extended Antenna
In this paper we investigate the possibility of modeling a single antenna alone and in close proximity to a physical object by means of discrete point source scatterers. The scatter point model allows joint modeling of a physical antenna and the human body as a single extended object with direction dependent scattering coefficients for the scatter points. We introduce the term extended antenna describing antenna and human body together. To investigate the identifiability of the model parameters we make use of ultrawideband channel measurements and accurate ground truth position and orientation measurements obtained with an optical tracking system. By comparing measurements of the antenna attached directly to the user with measurements for the antenna without the user nearby, we show the shadowing and scattering effects of the human body and the antenna.

Antenna Optimization for WBAN Based on Spherical Wave Functions De-Embedding
Antennas for wireless body area networks (WBAN) need to be modeled with adapted methods because the coupling with the body tissue does not allow for a clear separation between antenna and channel. Especially for dynamica…
Wearable slot antenna at 2.45 GHz for off-body radiation: analysis of efficiency, frequency shift and body absorption
The interaction of body worn antennas with the human body causes a significant decrease in the antenna efficiency and a shift in the resonant frequency. A resonant slot in a small conductive box placed on the body has be…
RF Energy Absorption in Human Bodies Due to Wearable Antennas in the 2.4 GHz Frequency Band
Human exposure to electromagnetic fields produced by two wearable antennas operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band was assessed by computational tools. Both antennas were designed to be attached to the skin, but they wer…
