Abstract

In this paper, WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) On-body system using the surface-oriented antenna about the impact of human internal organs were analyzed through experiments. The received signal strength is measured for effect of human using the human model and the phantom of torso. Experiments are performed in anechoic chamber without moving and measured by Vector Network Analyzer. This paper confirms the effect of human body by comparing the human model and the phantom of torso. And also know the human internal organs effect on the antennas loss of received signal strength by measured data.

본 논문에서는 WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) On-body 시스템에서 표면 지향 안테나를 사용하여 인체 내부 기관에 의한 영향을 분석하였다. 인체 내부 기관의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 인체 상반신 모델과 실제 인체에 안테나를 부착하여 수신 신호의 세기를 측정하였다. 실험은 인체에 대한 고유 영향을 보기 위하여 무반향실에서 움직임 없이 수행하였고, VNA(Vector Network Analyzer)를 이용하여 수신 신호 세기를 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터를 이용하여 인체 모델과 상반신 모델의 수신 신호 세기를 비교하였고, 인체 내부 기관이 안테나 수신 신호 세기에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다.
