The characterization of slow and fast fading in wireless body area networks with space diversity scheme has been presented. The\nanalysis, based on the measurements at 2.45 GHz in an indoor environment, has shown that for all investigated configurations\nof receiving wearable antennas, the correlation coefficient values of the received signalsâ?? parameters are below the assumed value\nof 0.5, being close to zero for the vast majority of cases. It has been shown that the slow fading component may be modelled by\na lognormal distribution with zero average and the standard deviation from the range of [1.43, 1.98] dB. The fast fading\ncomponent is the best modelled by a Rice distribution with the noncentrality parameter and the scale parameter being in the\nrange [0.8125, 0.9624] and [0.5269, 0.6954], respectively.
