Diversity / MIMO Antennas
Simple Maximal Signal Diversity Gain
Multi-path signal transmission may
lead to destructive signal overlay
resulting in local deep dips
(called Rayleigh-Fading)
Antenna 1
Antenna 2
Multiple antennas (antenna diversity)
may overcome this problem
best of (diversity gain)
Theta = 15 deg
Phi = 30 deg
3.5 Minutes simulation time per excitation on dual CPU workstation with
NVIDIA Kepler 20 GPU (10% GPU capacity)
Relatively, low coupling to GPS at 28 GHz, but radiation angles towards GPS
antenna are affected
CST Installation Help Files include both static and posable CTIA Hand (+spacer)
