On the design and performance analysis of wristband MIMO/diversity antenna for smart wearable communication applications

Abstract The design of a silicone rubber-based wristband wearable antenna exploiting pattern diversity is presented in this paper. The wristband diversity antenna consists of four identical antenna elements with an inter-element spacing of 0.68λ 0, where λ 0 is the lower cut-off wavelength. A modifi...
