Abstract

This paper presents results from an experiment that used a variety of antennas inside two buildings. A profound result is that directional circularly-polarized (CP) antennas reduce rms delay spreads when compared with omni-directional and directional linearly-polarized (LP) antennas at identical locations. The variation of rms delay spread over distances of several wavelengths is also greatly reduced when CP antennas are used in place of LP antennas with similar gains.
