Review of the State of the Art
This chapter reviews the state of the art of low-power TRXs for WBAN applications. The different proposals are categorized in three groups: narrow-band TRXs, usually compliant with WBAN standards; wide-band TRXs, most often employing proprietary signaling

Preface
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are expected to promote new applications for the ambulatory health monitoring of chronic patients and the elderly population, aiming to improve their quality of life and independence. These networks are composed by wireless sensor nodes that measure physiological variables and transmit it, for example, to the patients’ smartphone, which may acts as a gateway to a remote medical assistance service. A key element of such senso
