SPACE-DIVERSITY TECHNIQUE FOR COMBATING SIGNAL FADING IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN NIGERIA

Abstract

Fading on wireless channels has. been viewed as a problem that must be combated in order. to achieve reliable and effective information transfer. In this work, the space-diversity technique was applied to combat fading. The exposition of this technique as well as different theories on path loss propagation and antennas spacing equations were presented. In carrying out the project, an application program was developed with c++ programming language. The developed program was used to generate the required data, which was later analysed statistically. The performance improvement of the technique was evaluated by comparing the generated data from the program with results from recent related works.
