Wideband Off-Body Measurements and Channel Modeling at 60 GHz

A wideband indoor channel model between an external base station and a worn receiver on the user body at 60 GHz has been developed based on indoor measurements. The results are presented for three different receiver locations: head, wrist, and belt. A Saleh–Valenzuela impulse response is proposed as numerical model for this scenario. Also, path loss and delay spread results are driven out in order to discuss the node location for assessing an off-body communication.
