Abstract :
The investigation of user interaction presented in this paper focuses on the comparison between the free space and data mode diversity performance of a tri-band "stick" phone size prototype in the uniform 3D propagation environment. A state-of-the-art phantom hand from IndexSAR is used to hold the diversity prototype in the data mode position.
