Abstract :
The behavior of radio propagation in cross-polarization (X-pol) in urban environment is studied with the aid of both MIMO measurements and ray tracing simulation. Several microcellular scenarios are considered in the paper (LOS, NLOS, street corner), and the behavior of X-pol discrimination (XPD) as a function of the distance is analyzed. Results show that typical XPD values fall between 8 and 10 dBs, and are nearly independent of link distance.
