Abstract
On-body channel dynamics are primarily affected by body motions, which not only cause dynamic scattering conditions but also modify the geometry of links over time. We experimentally investigate the Doppler spectra of narrowband on-body channels at 2.45 GHz in both anechoic and indoor environments. The body dynamics resulting from the motion are shown to directly affect the Doppler spectrum. An empirical model is proposed to describe the global and/or local Doppler spreads. The fit of a 3-cylinder-based physical model accounting for the arm swinging is also evaluated.
