| Summary: | Antenna diversity is widely used to improve the transmission signal of wireless
communication. In urban area, buildings are built closely and indoor diversity
antenna is needed in order to improve the signal reception quality. Instead of using
only
one omnidirectional antenna, diversity antenna is used to increase the gain and
the directivity of antenna. There are antenna diversity techniques used in wireless
communication such as spatial diversity, polarization diversity and pattern diversity.
Most
of the time these diversity techniques are used together to further improve the
transmission performance. Considering the very wide usage of diversity antenna for
indoor and outdoor applications, this
project
describes the effect of indoor and
outdoor antenna diversity to capacity and performance
on wireless communication
systems
. The performance of indoor diversity antenna is studied by
comparing the
connection speeds and the coverage range of t
he wireless ro
uter that operate
using
one antenna, two antennas
and without antenna
. Narda, the
E

R
adiation
S
urvey
M
eter is used to measure the
field
strength of base station antenna
in order to study the outdoor per
formance of diversity antenna.
From the
results of
this project, proven
that antenna diversity
improve the capacity and performance of
wireless communication systems
.
With increase of number or diversity antennas
place at optimum distance apart, antenna diversity techniques can be used together
in
wireless communications to improve the quality of the wireless communication
systems. |
