✦ Synopsis

This article reports results of indoor polarization diversity propagation measurements and simulations made for a simple controlled environment in which a 900 MHz (CW) vertically polarized signal is transmitted from a fixed emitter to a mobile receiver. The receiver is equipped with a two branch diversity system, which makes possible the application of polarization diversity in order to reduce the deep fades that al&t the signal envelope, A channel model of an indoor environment, based on ray tracing and on the uniform theory of diffraction, is used to describe the environment as a set of structures with electromagnetic properties, and results in a detailed description of the fading experienced by a communication system. Examples of comparisons of measurement and simulation results are presented.
