Abstract
Variation of on-body millimetre-wave propagation channels with body movements has been studied experimentally. A statistical description of the propagation channel is presented, including path-loss probability distributions, level-crossing rates and average fade durations. The median path losses for the considered practical links with omnidirectional monopole antennas lied within the range of 55-88 dB. The signal variation was found to consist of two superimposed variations, in general: the long-term and short-term fadings, but was dominated by the much stronger long-term fading. The use of a simple two-state Markov process model to describe on-body communication links is also proposed and its limitations are discussed.
