Abstract EN
As part of the typical usage mode, interaction between a handheld receiver antenna and the operator's RF absorbing body and nearby objects is known to generate variability in antenna radiation characteristics through blocking and pattern changes.
It is counterintuitive that random variations in blocking can result in diversity gain of practical applicability.
This diversity gain is quantified from a theoretical and experimental perspective.
Measurements carried out at 1947.5 MHz verify the theoretical predictions, and a diversity gain of 3.1 dB was measured through antenna blocking and based on the utilized measurement setup.
The diversity gain can be exploited to enhance signal detectability of handheld receivers based on a single antenna in indoor multipath environments.
