| Abstract | Long-term implantable devices communicating with receivers in the outer human body through a wireless interface are one of the most prominent applications of micro/nano-technology in medicine. Ultra wideband (UWB) interfaces have great potential for the communication links of these telemedicine applications due to their inherent low power consumption, high transmission rates, and simple electronics. Novel implant medical sensors and actuators operate in the abdomen at different depths, which makes an "abdominal" channel model essential for the proper design of the UWB communication interfaces of said devices. This paper presents a statistical model for the propagation of a UWB pulse through the abdominal region in the 1–6 GHz frequency band. For the development of this statistical model, numerical electromagnetic (EM) simulations were conducted using a digital anatomical model that includes the dielectric properties of human tissues; using this EM simulator, the channel responses of many in-body probes were computed. Based on the statistical analysis of the obtained data, we provide the mathematical expressions to calculate the path loss and shadowing at depths between 10–150 mm inside the abdomen. In addition, the channel impulse response (CIR) can be reproduced using a set of statistical formulas also provided. Our proposed model approximates very well the abdominal in-body channel properties, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming and complex numerical simulations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
