Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose estimation method of living body direction using the parasitic antennas, where only an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) without phase information is used. In this method, RSSI is measured by using single receiver with parasitic antennas, and the channel is estimated. It allows simplification of the RF-frontend since the number of the receivers can be reduced. Moreover, it does not need phase information of the signal, which allows the use of the commercially available receivers, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware. The experimental results showed the angular error is less than acceptable error even though the phase information is not available.
