Abstract

We report investigations into the interference rejection capabilities of a dual antenna system on a mobile handset prototype for the 1800 MHz band. The performance evaluation is done by using a simulated incoming field on the handset antennas and by downlink measurements in an indoor environment. Complex signal samples are used in order to investigate the interference rejection gain with different diversity combining schemes and with one and two interferers present
