Abstract

This paper presents a miniaturized circularly polarized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for wearable biotelemetric devices. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of four elements, which are placed orthogonally to the adjacent elements. The proposed antenna has a wideband response [10-dB bandwidth of 2210 MHz (fractional bandwidth (FBW) = 92.08%) in free space and 10-dB bandwidth of 2200 MHz (FBW = 91.66%) when worn on human-body], this frequency range covers the important and unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band (2.40-2.48 GHz). The antenna exhibits a wideband 3-dB circularly polarized bandwidth of 1300 MHz (FBW=54.16%) and 1040 MHz (FBW=43.33%) in free space and when worn on the body, respectively. The optimized antenna in free space (on-body) has an envelop correlation coefficient (ECC) less than 0.21 (0.23), a diversity gain (DG) greater than 9.77 dB (9.71 dB), a multiplexing efficiency (ME) greater than -0.85 dB (-0.63 dB), and a channel capacity loss (CCL) less than 0.13 bps/Hz (0.13 bps/Hz). The stable radiation, high gain, high efficiency, and good MIMO properties in free space and on human-body make the proposed antenna a suitable choice for use in high data wearable biotelemetric devices.
