Ultrawideband (UWB) is a promising technology for wireless body area networks (WBANs). This paper studied the impacts of 3.1–10.6 GHz on-human-body UWB channel on the impulse radio WBAN system. A performance evaluation method is presented for the realistic UWB WBAN systems, which observes the wavefo...
