无线体域网络(WBAN)被认为是最适合远程健康监测的技术之一。这项技术有可能提高医疗质量，并控制相关成本。由于人体生物体的复杂性及其不同组织的性质，当在人体附近测量时，预计无线电频道的传播特性与在其他情况下发现的不同。本文的工作旨在扩展超宽带(UWB)信道在3.1-10 GHz频率范围内的知识，以WBANs为例，在静态和动态场景下。使用了两种不同类型的天线，SkyCross SMT-3TO10M-A和P200 BroadSpec™。为了最大限度地减少环境的影响，测量是在电波暗室中进行的。
Wireless body area networks (WBAN) are being considered as one of the most suitable technologies for remote health monitoring. This technology has the potential to increase the quality of medical care as well as keeping under control the associated costs. Due to the complexity of the human organisms and the nature of its different tissues it is expected that the propagation characteristics of the radio channel, when measured in close proximity of a human body, to be different than those found in other scenarios. The work described in this papers aims to expand the knowledge of the ultra-wideband (UWB) channel in the frequency range of 3.1–10 GHz, for the case of WBANs, under static and dynamic scenarios. Two different type of antennas are used, the SkyCross SMT-3TO10M-A and the P200 BroadSpec™. To minimize the effects of the environment the measurements were conducted in an anechoic chamber.
