The influence of correlation on antenna diversity

Abstract

Despite the evolution of wireless communications, it always suffers from signal fading problems caused by multipath. In our work, results of using antenna polarization diversity have been exposed to prove its efficiency in combating fading problems. Different receive antenna systems based on polarization diversity have been used to be evaluated after a received data acquisition using Arduino board and Matab. A second type of antenna diversity have been used to study the influence of correlation on antenna diversity. Based on antenna spatial diversity, a new structure have been simulated for different distances separating its constituent elements. A comparison has been done between different transmission coefficients of the simulated structure as a function of the separating distance.
