MOBA - Receiving System with High Availability.

Abstract

To investigate fading effects of mobile receiving systems under MOBA-conditions, 6 antennas have been mounted in various spacings on a car and the covariance function of 9 different antenna combinations has been measured in the frequency range 30 to 300 MHz while driving the car. While in nearly all cases the presence of the conducting surface of the car increases correlation over the theoretically expected values, the correlation factors are small enough for sufficient diversity gain above 30 MHz. An experimental receiver for the FM-broadcasting range has been developed for experimental use at the U.S. Army Electronics Research and Development Command. (Author)
