Diversity Reception: Multiple Antennas at Base Station Each Antenna is Affected by Multipath Differently Due to Their Different Location Allows Selection of the Signal Least Affected by Multipath Fading If Diversity Antennas are Good, Why Not Use Base Stations as a Diversity Network? – Soft Handoff The concept of diversity reception has been well known ...

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is a digital modulation scheme that transmits data by varying the phase of the carrier signal. There are two main types of QPSK: Offset QPSK (OQPSK) and π/4-QPSK. Let’s explore the details of each: 1. Offset QPSK (OQPSK): OQPSK is a modified version of QPSK that addresses certain issues related ... Read more
Sectorization gain can be somewhat of a misleading term. One could think of the sectorization gain as more of a reduction factor. For an omni site, the sectorization gain is one. With a sector site, one could initially try to multiply the resulting capacity of an omni site (or single sector) by the number of ... Read more
