Abstract

The paper studies the over-the-air (OTA) performance of a mobile terminal. A practical two-port mobile terminal model on the left side and the right side of the head for both standard cheek position and standard tilt position is used to study the diversity gains. The diversity gain has been determined by measurements in a reverberation chamber as well as by simulations using the far field patterns from CST Microwave Studio, and then exposing these patterns to rich isotropic multipath (RIMP) environment in a ray-based simulation tool.
