interaction with the reflected radio waves can cause a drop in signal strength,
or even cause it to be cancelled out completely.
Transmission quality can be improved with so-called "diversity" methods. The
principle of "diversity" methods relies on the fact that a transmitted signal is
often received multiple times (generally twice). With appropriate processing,
these signals can be re-combined into a single signal. The most common
methods are space diversity and polarization diversity. LANCOM Systems sup-
plies various polarization diversity antennas for connection to LANCOM
devices. These models enable two orthogonally polarized signals to be recei-
ved with a single antenna. Further information about this technique is avai-
lable in our "Polarization Diversity" techpaper.
