Abstract

The performance of cellular phones and other mobile or wireless terminals operating in multipath propagation environment can be greatly improved by introducing different diversity schemes. The improvement is characterized in terms of a diversity gain. An effective diversity gain is defined here. This is an absolute measure of diversity gain and can therefore be used to compare different diversity antennas. The Letter also shows how the effective diversity gain can be measured in a reverberation chamber. Measured effective diversity gains agree much better with theoretical diversity gains than measured values published previously. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract It has previously been shown that the radiation efficiency of small antennas can be measured with good accuracy in reverberation chambers. The results are obtained by averaging several measurements of the transmitted power between the antenna under test and a fixed antenna, both located

The NOEC (no observed eect concentration) is widely used as summary statistic of ecotoxicity tests. In setting standards for risk evaluation, it is normally applied as if it were an estimate of the NEC (no eect concentration). Recently, a workshop was organized in the Netherlands to evaluate the mer
