This letter presents the results of a set of measurements carried out in order to research the behavior of a scheme of polarization diversity in indoor environments in the 1.8 and 2.5 GHz bands. To this end, parameters such as the cross‐correlation coefficient and the cross‐polarization discrimination between the individual signals received in each of the combiner branches are analyzed. By simulating various types of combiners, it is also possible analyze the improvement produced by the combination in the statistical behavior of the signal, and the decrease of the bit‐error rate after the combination. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
