Abstract :
A measurement campaign to compare four different base station two-branch antenna diversity schemes in the 1800 MHz band has been carried out. The measurements were performed in such a way that the performance of the diversity schemes could be compared directly for different environments. The main conclusion to be drawn from this measurement campaign is that polarisation diversity schemes performed better than space diversity schemes
