Diversity technology based on multiple path and antenna selection for wideband communication systems

Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of wideband communication systems which use space-path combined diversity based on a selection of multiple antenna branches and paths. A set of n antenna branches is selected from N multiple antennas, and a set of m paths to be combined is selected from M multiple paths for each selected antenna branch. The performance of the receiver configuration is evaluated in terms of bit error rate by computer simulation.
