Abstract :
The concept of attenuation diversity gain in a single-polarized site-diversity receiving system can be extended to an analagous quantity called isolation diversity gain in a dual-polarized site-diversity system. Isolation-diversity gain can be calculated from single site attenuation if the attenuation diversity gain is known.
