Influence of antenna configurations on performance of STBC in urban microcells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on urban microcell channel measurements, the bit error rate performance of a space-time block code with four transmit antennas using various dual-branch receive antenna configurations, is evaluated. It is demonstrated that with realistic handset antennas, it is possible to achieve performance very close to that of the theoretical uncorrelated Rayleigh case, although proximity of operator tissue (e.g. head) will result in several decibels performance degradation.

Reinforced concrete frame buildings with Open Ground Story (OGS) are one of the most common building configurations in urban habitat. These configurations are known to be vulnerable to seismic excitations, primarily due to the sudden loss in strength in the ground story and differential stiffness distribution throughout the structure. The differential stiffness distribution is attributed primar...
