Electric field phase sensing for wearable orientation and localisation applications

Published: 12 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

We show how to sense the phase of the ambient electric field from a body-worn sensor with respect to a reference and discuss how phase information could contribute to relative orientation sensing and indoor localisation. Our system uses 7mW and can be enclosed in a plastic case which makes it suitable for new wearable devices.
