BASE STATION POLARIZATION DIVERSITY RECEPTION FOR MOBILE RADIO

Base station polarization diversity reception in which signals are received by dual polarization (ex. + or - 45 degree polarization) is discussed. A theoretical analysis is presented on correlation coefficient rho between diversity branches, and received signal level decrease L caused by polarization difference at the base and mobile station. The generalized expressions of rho and L are then derived. Measurements were also carried out at 900 MHz in an urban area. Consequently, it was found that the rho and L values are expressed by three factors, rho is lower than 0. 6 and L is smaller than 2.5 db. It is concluded that this polarization diversity reception can be used as an effective diversity reception.
