Macro cell measurement with a Nokia WCDMA
Experimental system were conducted in semi-urban
surroundings in Espoo, Finland. The main interest of the
measurement campaign described in this paper was to
investigate the gain of using different antenna
configurations (both with and without Rx diversity) at the
base station (BS), while keeping the mobile station (MS)
antenna orientation fixed (vertical, no diversity). Two main
measurement routes were selected, with clearly different
propagation environments. The results show that
depending on the propagation environment, the antenna
diversity varies roughly between 3 to 4.5 dB, while the
polarization diversity cases are more difficult to interpret
in such a measurement campaign where the MS end
antenna is fixed at vertical. However, the results suggest
that the relation of the received and transmitted
polarization should also be accounted for when selecting
antenna configurations for the BS.
