Abstract :
The performance of diversity systems operating in close proximity to the human body has been investigated. The performance of a diversity system is affected by the human body, hand and by the inclusion of a ground plane. The results show that these factors need to be taken into account in order to accurately predict the performance of a two-branch antenna diversity system.
