Abstract

Statistical analysis of the on-body diversity combined and branch signals are presented. The distribution of short-term fading envelopes of the branch and combined signals show that the fading environment for the on-body channels is Rician. The long-term fading best fits the Log-Normal distribution. The average best fit parameters are presented for short-term and long-term fading envelopes of the branch and combined signals. The Doppler spectra are also presented. Three different types of antennas were used and two on-body channels were characterized at 2.45, 5.8, and 10 GHz.
