Abstract :
This paper presents recent status and some technological issues for the development of human phantoms used for antenna designs from the above-mentioned two perspectives. Furthermore, as a new trend of phantom applications towards future wireless radios, MIMO over-the-air testing (MIMO-OTA) using a phantom and an arm waving dynamic phantom for the assessment of body area network (BAN) systems are briefly introduced.
