介绍了超宽带(UWB)无线体域网(WBAN)信道在医院环境中的实验研究。测量的数据被用来建立信道的统计模型，然后可以用来设计高效和安全的通信网络。广域网有望用于医疗保健领域，以支持远程医疗等概念。人体形状复杂，由不同的组织组成。然后，预计电磁波在患者身体附近的传播将具有独特的特征。在医院环境中，也有各种各样的电子设备和专用医疗设备，它们对电磁传播产生了影响。因此，要正确设计WBANs，就必须很好地了解医院内靠近人体的无线电频道的特性。
This paper describes an experimental study of the ultra wideband (UWB) wireless body area network (WBAN) channel in a hospital environment. The measured data are used to develop statistical models for the channel, which can then be used to design efficient and safe communication networks. WBANs are expected to be used in the healthcare field to enable concepts such as telemedicine. The human body has a complex shape and consists of different tissues. It is then expected that the propagation of the electromagnetic waves near a patient's body will have unique characteristics. In a hospital environment, there are also a variety of electronic devices and specialised medical equipment, which have impact on the electromagnetic propagation. To properly design WBANs is then necessary to have a good understanding of the characteristics of the radio channel in the proximity of the human body within a hospital.
