Abstract :
We have studied the effect of polarization diversity and space diversity in the environment of Rice and Rayleigh fading. We measured the amplitude of the vertical wave and the horizontal wave and then estimated a Rice factor K and a correlation coefficient ρ by using the moments of measured data between them. Furthermore, BER performances were calculated. Finally the comparison was made between the space diversity antenna and polarization diversity antenna
