Wideband Channel Measurements for Polarised Indoor Off-Body Communications

Abstract

This paper presents the initial results of wideband channel measurements for polarised off-body communication at 5.8 GHz, in an indoor environment. Channel Impulse Response measurements were performed simultaneously for two orthogonal polarisations of the wearable antenna, and repeated for vertical and horizontal orientations of the off-body one. Four types of measurement scenarios were considered in order to investigate the influence of user dynamics, presence of people in the environment, and the body-shadowing effects from the user or another person obstructing the Line-of-Sight in between the transmitter and the receiver. The measurements were performed for several wearable antenna placements, representative of popular Body Area Network applications. In total, approximately 1GB of measurement data was obtained during the campaign. Only a set of initial results is presented; a detailed analysis, planed for the future, being discussed.
