Abstract :
Diversity gain for a 1920-MHz suburban mobile channel was measured for various array orientations (horizontal and vertical), combining techniques, and bandwidths (19.6 kHz to 10.0 MHz). While horizontal array diversity gain was larger than for the vertical array, vertical array gain was still significant for narrower bandwidths
