Abstract :
The performance of a three-branch orthogonal polarisation scheme at the receiver with a horizontally or vertically polarised transmitter is investigated. It is shown that such a scheme provides diversity improvement of about 2 dB more than the dual-branch system which could have great significance in future systems
