  • Abstract
    Expressions for the `beam falsing loss´ (BFL) are derived for the uplink of a TDMA land mobile radio system using a switched-beam base station architecture. The analysis shows, for representative system parameters and channel assumptions, that in terms of mean BER, the performance degradation owing to the beam falsing is small
