Body-worn phased-array antenna

摘要: Several (in some cases many dozen) small antennae are integrated into or over a full body suit clothing. These preferably include an intra-suit clothing wired connection to one more Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) radios, e.g., in the 3-10 GHz range. In cases, each antenna includes variable delay, few nanoseconds with picoseconds-scale resolution on delays, thus allowing for body-suit ensemble act as directional phased-array. One claim recites radio wearable by human comprising: phased-array including plurality of antennae, array being configured wearing body, provided spatially positioning multiple different regions body; RF radio; and controller for: i) determining relative spatial position information within antenna; ii) using at least information, controlling produce UWB beam through antenna. Another having metamaterial elements. Of course, other claims combinations well.
