Additional information
For on-body systems the use of receiver diversity comes at significant cost in terms of weight / power / unit cost. Both industry and academia remain to be convinced and so this paper is important in that it set out a full characterisation of closely spaced receiver diversity performance and how this varied with the operating environment, array position and user activity. The work is not only of scientific interest, but provides system architects with indicative evidence of the potential benefits of tightly-coupled receiver diversity for wearable applications.
