This paper describes the measurements and the analysis of the impact of radio wave polarisation on off-body communications in Body Area Networks in indoor environments. Measurements on polarisation impact are briefly described. Five investigated scenarios with different body postures and different antenna placements are characterised. The difference between the vertical and horizontal components of the received radio signal are analysed. The best results have been obtained for scenarios with a vertical polarised transmitting antenna, especially for the case when the maximum gain of the transmitting antenna is directed towards the receiving one.
