Abstract :
This paper presents a statistical analysis of the diversity performance for a reconfigurable antenna (RA) operating at 5.8 GHz (ISM band) in an indoor environment. The paper does not focus on the antenna design. It rather details the measurement campaign that demonstrates the effectiveness of polarization/pattern diversity of the RA and investigates other fundamental mechanisms that can modify diversity performance.
