Impact of spacing and gain imbalance between two dipoles on HSPA throughput performance

Author

Summary, in English

This Letter reports the throughput performance of two parallel half-wavelength dipoles with different antenna spacings and antenna gain imbalances for two frequency bands in a live High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) network. It was found that an antenna spacing of 0.25 wavelengths and gain imbalances of up to 6 dB are sufficient to provide significant throughput gain for the same transmit power, or equivalently, an increase in network coverage for a given throughput, as compared to a single dipole.
