Abstract :
An investigation into the beam switched angular diversity of a 6 sector circular array antenna intended for HIPERLAN terminals is presented. Experimental results demonstrate the potentiality of such antennas for reducing the delay spread in the response of an indoor channel and for increasing the data rate
