On-body Relay Antenna System for Mobile Communication Handsets

多输入多输出(MIMO)技术是下一代高速无线通信中最重要的技术之一。然而，在一部小尺寸的手机上安装这么多天线是很困难的。在这项研究中，提出了多天线不是安装在手机上，而是安装在人体上。通过全波数值仿真和测量，对所提出的体上天线的MIMO传输容量进行了评估，验证了所提出的天线系统的性能。

Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) technology is one of the most important technologies to be required in high-speed wireless communications of the next-generation. However, it is difficult to mount so many antennas in a mobile handset of small size. In this research, it is proposed that the multi-antennas are mounted not in the handset, but on the human body. The MIMO transmission capacity using the proposed on-body antennas are evaluated by full-wave numerical simulation and measurement, demonstrating the performance of the proposed antenna system.
