An investigation has been carried out into the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) performance of a novel, less complex diversity detection antenna (DDA) and a comparison has been made with a single receiver antenna that collects the optical power with a field‐of‐view (FOV) of 180°. It is demonstrated that the proposed DDA reduces the burnout of the received data when the system operates in a room illuminated by spotlights that concentrate their emitted light in a narrow beam. Furthermore, the paper outlines the applied simulation method and the associated numerical details. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
