With the potential use of wireless implanted devices for transplanted liver monitoring applications, it is important to investigate the in-body propagation channel at liver area and to demonstrate the feasibility of the applications. Experimental measurements were performed using our developed multilayer human equivalent phantoms. Subsequently, path loss data were recorded and analyzed for various distances between the implanted and on-body antennas at lower range of ultra-wideband to assess the in-body propagation channel. Finally, our preliminary results indicate a possibility for liver implanted wireless communications using UWB technology in the example case scenario.
