In-to-out body antenna-independent path loss model for multilayered tissues and heterogeneous medium

Sensors (Basel). 2014 Dec 29;15(1):408-21. doi: 10.3390/s150100408.

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate multilayered lossy and heterogeneous media for wireless body area networks (WBAN) to develop a simple, fast and efficient analytical in-to-out body path loss (PL) model at 2.45 GHz and, thus, avoid time-consuming simulations. The PL model is an antenna-independent model and is validated with simulations in layered medium, as well as in a 3D human model using electromagnetic solvers.
