A pair of bodyworn antennas was utilized in this measurement campaign. A statistical analysis was performed by comparing the measured onbody path loss to five wellknown distributions; lognormal, normal, Nakagami, Weibull and Rayleigh. The results showed that the average path loss of moving arm varied higher than the path loss in sitting position for upperarmtoleftchest link, up to 3.5 dB. The analysis also concluded that the Nakagami distribution provided the best fit for most of onbody static link path loss in standing still and sitting position, while the arm movement can be best described by lognormal distribution. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 84, 2013</index> </article>
