Abstract

In this paper, the effects of antenna pattern and antenna polarization on indoor obstructed (OBS) wireless channels are investigated experimentally. Our results show that linearly polarized (LP) directional antennas are more effective in combating multipath components than other types of antennas in OBS channels. The measurement results are verified with a deterministic wide-band propagation model based on image theory that takes into account the effects of building geometry, antenna pattern, and antenna polarization. Preliminary prediction results show that the propagation model holds promise for accurate and efficient in-building wireless channel prediction.
