Using wireless sensors placed on a person to continuously monitor health information is a promising new application. In developing these sensors, detailed knowledge of the communication channel is essential. However, there are currently very few measurements describing propagation around the body. To address this problem, we have measured electromagnetic waves traveling near the torso to derive a simple pathless law. The pathless law is then extended to include the influence of arm movements and a surrounding office environment. This paper describes our measurement campaign and the basic characteristics of the body area radio channel.
