Abstract

The efficiency of a miniature diversity device has been shown, by the measurement of capacity improvement of a simple communication link, in real indoor environment. In spite of the antennas closeness, good results have been obtained. More results will be presented, like comparison with Switch, EGC combining, single reference antenna and SNR/FER measurements with other modulation schemes. Moreover, this kind of measurements will be investigated in outdoor to indoor contexts for WiMAX links at 3.5 GHz.
