Evaluation of an advanced receiver concept for DECT

An advanced DECT receiver concept that is based upon a non-coherent differential detection with equalization, and includes switching diversity with performance of true RSSI selection diversity, has been previously described (Safavi et al., 1995). This paper deals with a hardware testbed evaluation of the concept. The analysis includes practical implementation aspects, performance results obtained from a wideband channel simulator, and measurements conducted in a typical DECT telepoint environment.
