Abstract :
Distributed antennas have been suggested as a possible method of providing reliable coverage for indoor wireless communication systems. A potential problem with them however is the possibility of increased channel fading caused by interference between individual antennas in the distributed antenna. The authors present measurement and simulation results of the fading characteristics of distributed antennas to exactly determine whether they will play a significant role in the coverage provided. and how they will affect system design
