Abstract

This article investigates the impact of antenna diversity implementation at both mobile handsets and basestations on the reverse link DS/CDMA capacity in a myriad of fading environments. Our numerical results reveal that transmit diversity implementation at mobile handsets is most beneficial in indoor propagation channels (since only a few significant resolvable multipaths are available) with low order antenna diversity at the base-station and in harsh fading environments.
