Abstract :
Two-branch vertical space diversity (V-SD) and horizontal space diversity (H-SD) antenna arrangements mounted on a metal pole to illuminate a street cell are investigated. Measurement results taken in a Japanese suburban area are also presented. These results clarify the required arrangements for both V-SD and H-SD configurations. Measured results show that the optimum arrangement of the H-SD configuration depends on the diameter of the pole on which the antennas are mounted
