Abstract
An antenna arrangement for use in a cellular mobile radio system, consisting of four receiving antenna arrays grouped into two branches ( ). The first branch consists of an antenna array ( ) receiving vertically polarized signals, located adjacent an antenna array ( ) receiving horizontally polarized signals. The second branch ( ) consists of a similar arrangement ( ) spaced from the first branch to provide space diversity of the received signals. When a signal is received, the outputs from all four antenna arrays ( ) are fed to a combiner arrangement ( ) to produce a space-diversity and polarization-diversity gain.
