Experimental Analysis of Ultra Wideband In Vivo Radio Channel

In this paper, we present the experimental analysis of in vivo wireless channel response on Ultra-Wideband (UWB) with the frequencies between 3.1-10.6 GHz. The analysis proves the location dependent based characteristics of in vivo channel. The results clearly show the highly multipath scenario. It can also be observed that the multipath effect of the channel is much higher in the denser areas, i.e. an antenna placed within the intestine area or inside the stomach. Results prove that in vivo channel is different from a conventional communication channel and therefore extensive studies need to be done to understand the channel
