Abstract
Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology combined with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is an enabling technology used in WiFi 6/6E (IEEE 802.11ax) to increase the throughput. With the addition of WiFi 6/6E and taking advantage of MIMO and OFDMA, many applications of wearable WiFi can be imagined. For example, WiFi can be used for tracking and fall detection. Wearable devices, such as those used in gaming, vital sign monitoring, and tracking, can also take advantage of wearable MIMO antennas. In this paper, a wearable small dual-band antenna is proposed that can be fabricated on felt or denim substrate. In the proposed antenna, a conductive layer is used as a reflector to improve the gain and reduce the sensitivity of the antenna performance to the body loading effects. The details of the design and its performance in a sample indoor MIMO setting are provided. The MIMO antenna is proposed for WiFi tracking and sensing applications. The performance of the MIMO antenna in an indoor setting is examined.
