Abstract :
Transmission in the lower in wave range along traffic roads suffers from fading, even if the line of sight is not obstructed, and from intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipath propagation. We have measured up to a 11 dB gain when employing RX antenna space diversity. The ISI on the other hand is reduced only little.
