Abstract

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of the angle diversity when the average signal strengths from angularly separated channels are different. And we have compared the space diversity and the angle diversity not only using the diversity gain but also using the received signals´ mean SNR. And we have shown that the angle diversity can have a good performance in the urban area after analyzing the data collected from real environments.
