Title
IEEE 802.15.4a UWB receivers' performance in different body area network channels
Abstract
Ultra wideband signals have been first generated in the late 19th century. However, using UWB in data communications increased in popularity since the 1990s. Investigating the effects of human body on the propagation of an UWB signal gained more attention hand in hand with UWB data communications studies. The first studies of human body and UWB signal propagation around it were performed in the early 2000s and ever since the body centric communications have been referred to as body area network. In this paper, we are comparing different UWB receivers capable of detecting the IEEE 802.15.4a format signal in two different UWB WBAN hospital channels; IEEE 802.15.6 CM3 and a real measured and modeled channel.
