Abstract :
This research deals with the development of a multi-beamformer testbed for diversity measurements at 1.9 GHz. The testbed is composed of an antenna array, a beamforming network, data acquisition system and computer interface. The testbed is able to measure and acquire the carrier envelope of 2 to 4 simultaneous channels. Experiments were performed in an indoor environment with controlled mobility. Diversity gain results for the switched beam front end are shown
