Abstract

This paper presents a measurement method on the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) Over-The-Air (OTA) Testing of FSK signals for BAN antennas. The human body shadowing effects when a human walks in a multiple radio wave propagation environment are performed by a developed fading emulator with a dynamic phantom. The results show that the shadowing effect caused by the arm in a Rayleigh fading propagation environment has a significant impact on the BER performance, indicating the effectiveness of proposed BER-OTA apparatus for the evaluation of body-attached BAN antennas in considerations of human body shadowing effects.
