Abstract :
The effects of certain non-ideal conditions on spatial diversity are examined. Diversity switches are microwave components that can be found in spatial-diversity systems. The effects of the finite isolation are treated, along with the effect of mutual coupling between the antenna elements. The mutual coupling is demonstrated for the case of dipoles and rectangular microstrip antennas. Closed-form expressions are provided for the correlation efficient of two-branch diversity schemes.
