Abstract :
A novel relationship between the azimuthal distribution of multipath power and narrowband small-scale fading characteristics is developed. The fundamental relationship is useful for studying adaptive arrays, smart antennas, equalisation, diversity, and any other wireless technology or concept that depends on the spatial characteristics of radiowave and microwave propagation
