Abstract

The results of fine-resolution signal strength measurements characterizing an indoor microcellular environment are described. A comparison is made between the received signal strengths and the statistical distributions from a single transmitter and signals received from two different transmitters using the same frequency and modulating information (simulcast). Measurements were taken in locations, where the average signal strengths from the two simulcast transmitters were nearly equal, and no line-of-sight paths existed
