Sector and polarisation dependent wideband indoor propagation channel measurement at 5.1 GHz for HIPERLAN

Three measurement campaigns carried out within the European project ADAMO are summarised. Complex impulse responses at 5.1 GHz have been measured in various environments, mainly indoor, in order to test and optimise angular and polarization diversity solutions, intended to mitigate multipath propagation. Both 6 sectors antennas and 3 sectors antennas with dual polarization have been considered. The results show a very significant improvement with respect to omnidirectional antennas in most cases.
