Effect of Breathing on UWB Propagation Characteristics for Ingestible and Implantable Devices

Wireless in-body devices are those in which a medical sensor is introduced–implanted or ingested– inside the human body and communicates with a remote node. Some in-body applications demand high data rates, so ultrawideband (UWB) spectrum has been proposed as a good candidate because of its large bandwidth available. Besides, breathing can lead to internal movement of the torso and consequently, o...
