Performance Analysis of Polarization Diversity for Indoor Scenarios at 41.4 GHz and 61.5 GHz

Abstract

We present the radio channel experiments conducted in indoor scenarios to test the performance of a dual orthogonal polarization scheme in the single-branch receiver end of a mobile system with a centre frequency of 41.4 GHz and 61.5 GHz. The diversity gain has been obtained according to three main combination methods for an outage probability of 1%: signal selection, equal gain combining, and maximal ratio combining. Diversity gain calculated ranges from 0.25 to 4.5 dB, depending on the combination technique used, the radiation pattern, the scenario, and the frequency band. The spatial variation of the cross-polar discrimination factor (XPD) has been estimated. The XPD ranges from 31 dB to 34 dB at 41.4 GHz and between 26 dB and 29 dB for the 61.5 GHz band. From the gain and discrimination results, we evaluated the performance of this scheme to conclude its suitability as either a diversity technique for reducing signal fading, as the 41.4 GHz, or as a method for increasing the link capacity in the 61.5 GHz case.

Effect of Space Diversity for Fading Mitigation at 40 and 60 GHz Indoor Channels

“…Having more than one signal path helps in raising the overall signal level when the conditions are not ideal. Polarization diversity with two antennas has already been considered in the past [1] at these frequencies, showing that it can be a good option to improve the signal's level.…”

Propagation analysis of MIMO ad hoc network in hybrid propagation model and implement less propagation loss algorithm to find the minimum loss route

“…The application of such network in indoor area like office, factory or in outdoor or in vegetated creates different environment or channel model through which the communication path is set-up between the source and destination node. The appropriate modelling of the propagation channel and its elements is required to accomplish projects capable of attending the demands of different coverage areas (Roche et al, 2010;Alejos et al, 2012;Fernández and Cuiñas, 2013). Propagation loss is an important parameter to analyse the transmission range of the network.…”
