Abstract :
An analytical expression is given for the 3D autocorrelation coefficient of a half-wavelength dipole antenna as a function of spatial separation in an isotropic scattering environment. Results are verified experimentally through measurements conducted in antenna anechoic chambers. The results closely match previously published work based upon measurements collected in a typical indoor mobile communication environment. It is recommended that the 3D autocorrelation coefficient model be used to gauge diversity antenna measurement systems.
