A multi-band Body-Worn Distributed exposure Meter (BWDM)
                calibrated for simultaneous measurement of the incident power
                density in 11 telecommunication frequency bands, is proposed.
                The BDWM consists of 22 textile antennas integrated in a garment
                and is calibrated on six human subjects in an anechoic chamber
                to assess its measurement uncertainty in terms of 68% confidence
                interval of the on-body antenna aperture. It is shown that by
                using multiple antennas in each frequency band, the uncertainty
                of the BWDM is 22 dB improved with respect to single nodes on
                the front and back of the torso and variations are decreased to
                maximum 8.8 dB. Moreover, deploying single antennas for
                different body morphologies results in a variation up to 9.3 dB,
                which is reduced to 3.6 dB using multiple antennas for six
                subjects with various body mass index values. The designed BWDM,
                has an improved uncertainty of up to 9.6 dB in comparison to
                commercially available personal exposure meters calibrated on
                body. As an application, an average incident power density in
                the range of 26.7-90.8 muW.m - 2 is measured in Ghent, Belgium.
                The measurements show that commercial personal exposure meters
                underestimate the actual exposure by a factor of up to 20.6.
