Abstract

We describe the results of our investigations into the bandwidth dependency of near-field effects in UWB implant body area networks. It has previously been proposed in the literature that the near-field region of an implant UWB antenna expands as a result of the interaction of the antenna with body tissues. However, the bandwidth dependency of this near-field effect has not been fully investigated. Our results shed light into this matter, which should be helpful in optimizing the quality of an implant UWB link.

Keywords: body area networks ultra wide band wireless communication
