Abstract :
We have studied the performance of antennas in inherently polarization-balanced horizontal 2-D multipath environments with angles of arrival in the horizontal plane only. The average received power may vary up to 3 dB depending on type of small antenna and its orientation, and, the observed polarization balanced may be anything between +3 and 3 dB, depending on the antenna by which it is measured.
