Abstract
The successful application of space diversity to achieve a high propagation reliability over line-of-sight microwave links requires proper separation between diversity antennas, whereby the signals received at the antennas are sufficiently decorrelated. The multipath-propagation model is examined, and en expression is derived for the envelope correlation coefficient which is a function of antenna spacing and is dependent on the parameters of the troposphere.
