Selection of Antenna Diversity Technique

Selection of Antenna Diversity Technique:

Urban areas– In urban areas there is more reflection/diffraction. As a result signals have more de-correlation( dissimilarity). Polarization diversity can give gain as high as 6 dB. Also, X-pol. single antenna is preferable because site negotiation and installation is critical in urban areas.

Rural Areas– Space diversity is preferable. Both diversity can give 2/3 dB gain in rural areas. Less reflection as rural areas in Bangladesh is more or less flat.
