Receive Antenna Diversity Architectures for HSDPA

Impact of spacing and gain imbalance between two dipoles on HSPA throughput performance

“…Introduction: Receiver and system performance evaluations for WCDMA systems have shown antenna receive diversity to be an effective method for fading mitigation and thus increasing the capacity and coverage in the network [1][2][3]. However, these evaluations are usually based on the assumptions that the receive signals are sufficiently decorrelated and of equal gain.…”
