A variety of antenna combinations were employed in order to investigate the optimal choice for base station and receive antennas for the indoor environment.
Results support the use of linearly-polarized signals to improve signal coverage.
The lowest path loss was measured when omnidirectional antennas were used. Lastly, results support diversity to improve bandwidth limitations in the indoor channel. Antennas Circularly polarized cavity backed archimedes spiral. Linearly polarized omnidirectional. Linearly polarized log periodic.
