A time-domain approach to the analysis and modeling of on-body propagation characteristics using synchronized measurements at 2.45 GHz
First paper to be published which applies time series analysis, used in economics, meteorology etc., to the study of signal propagation characteristics in body area networks (BANs). The paper provided physical evidence for the correlation between physiological and biomechanical parameters alongside the local environment and their relative contributions in determining on-body channel characteristics - this will be invaluable to future designers of BANs. It appeared in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation Special Issue on Antennas and Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications. Further development of this work has been supported through a Philip Leverhulme Prize (December 2011-November 2014, £75k).
