Abstract :
Results are presented from an experiment that used a variety of antennas inside two buildings. An important result is that directional circularly polarized (CP) antennas reduce RMS delay spreads when compared with omnidirectional and directional linearly polarized (LP) antennas at identical locations. The variation of RMS delay spread over distances of several wavelengths is also greatly reduced when CP antennas are used in place of LP antennas with similar gains
