Brief description:
Data consist narrowband measurement results of the system loss in off-body BAN at 2.45 GHz. Measurements were performed in a 7×5×3 m3 meeting room at Gdańsk University of Technology, with two different users and with consideration of the Tx antenna installed on a dielectric cardboard stand. The following three antenna locations were analysed: torso’s front side, head’s left side, and arm’s right side. Five static and two dynamic scenarios have been considered. Measurements were also done for vertical and horizontal polarisation of off-body antenna.

Possible use of the dataset:
Data can be used for development of system loss model, calculation of slow and fast fading, cross-polarisation discrimination ratio, etc. Data can be also used for validation of channel simulators. Data may be used only under the condition of citation of the following publication, where the measurements have been described: S.J. Ambroziak et al., “An Off-Body Channel Model for Body Area Networks in Indoor Environments,” in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, vol. 64, no. 9, pp. 4022-4035, Sept. 2016, doi: 10.1109/TAP.2016.2586510.
