Abstract

It is well known that a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system is capable of dealing with channel fading effectively. In addition, the RF channel capacity can be enhanced. The present paper describes an Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) - band (2.4 GHz-2.5 GHz) dual polarized textile wearable antenna suitable for MIMO applications. Simulation as well as measurement results are shown and discussed.
