Improved Reception of In-Body Signals by Means of a Wearable Multi-Antenna System

Table 4

Statistical parameters for all dipole orientations and varying diversity orders, where the gain is based on the 10% outage probability level of the CDF. Note the different scan area size for the 𝑧-orientation, due to physical constraints (Figure 3).
