`
`Diversity Techniques
`
`335
`
`The correlation coefficient
`
`is determined by three factors: polarization
`
`angle; offset angle from the main beam direction of the diversity antenna and the
`cross polarization discrimination. The correlation coefficient generally becomes
`higher as offset angle [3 becomes larger. Also, p generally becomes lower as
`
`polarization angle or increases. This is because the horizontal polarization com-
`
`ponent becomes larger as or increases.
`Because antenna elements V1 and V2 are polarized at ion to the vertical,
`the received signal level is lower than that received by a vertically polarized
`antenna. The average value of signal loss L , relative to that received using verti-
`cal polarization is given by
`
`The results of practical experiments carried out using polarization diversity
`[K0285] show that polarization diversity is a viable diversity reception tech-
`
`L = a2/I‘ + b2
`
`(6.78)
`
`nique.
`
`6.10.5 Frequency Diversity
`
`Frequency diversity transmits information on more than one carrier fre-
`quency. The rationale behind this technique is that frequencies separated by
`more than the coherence bandwidth of the channel will not experience the same
`fades [Lem91]. Theoretically, if the channels are uncorrelated, the probability of
`simultaneous fading will be the product of the individual fading probabilities
`
`(see equation (6.58)).
`Frequency diversity is often employed in microwave line-of-sight links
`which carry several channels in a frequency division multiplex mode (FDM). Due
`to tropospheric propagation and resulting refraction, deep fading sometimes
`occurs. In practice, 1:N protection switching is provided by a radio licensee,
`wherein one frequency is nominally idle but is available on a stand-by basis to
`provide frequency diversity switching for any one of the N other carriers (fre-
`quencies) being used on the same link, each carrying independent traffic. VVhen
`diversity is needed, the appropriate traffic is simply switched to the backup fre-
`quency. This technique has the disadvantage that it not only requires spare
`bandwidth but also requires that there be as many receivers as there are chan-
`nels used for the frequency diversity. However, for critical trafiic, the expense
`
`may be justified.
`
`6.10.6 Time Diversity
`
`Time diversity repeatedly transmits information at time spacings that
`exceed the coherence time of the channel, so that multiple repetitions of the sig-
`nal will be received with independent fading conditions, thereby providing for
`
`diversity. One modern implementation of time diversity involves the use of the
