Envelope Correlation Coefficient

The envelope correlation coefficient indicates the correlation between different antennas in a multi-antenna system (master antenna, diversity antenna, and MIMO antenna). The correlation coefficient shows the similarity of radiation patterns, that is, amplitude and phase, of the antennas. The ideal correlation coefficient of a diversity antenna system or a MIMO antenna system is 0. A small value of the envelope correlation coefficient between the master antenna and the slave antenna indicates a high diversity gain. The envelope correlation coefficient depends on the following factors:

zDistance between antennas

zAntenna type

zAntenna direction

The antenna correlation coefficient differs from the antenna isolation. Sufficient antenna isolation does not represent a satisfactory correlation coefficient. For this reason, the two indicators need to be evaluated separately.

For the antennas on laptops, the recommended envelope correlation coefficient between the master antenna and the diversity antenna is smaller than 0.5.

Radiation Pattern

The radiation pattern of an antenna reflects the radiation features of the antenna in the remote field region. The radiation pattern of an antenna describes the power or field strength of the radiated electromagnetic waves in various directions from the antenna. The power or field strength varies with the angular coordinates (θ and φ), but is independent of the radial coordinates.

The radiation pattern of half wave dipole antennas is the best option for wireless terminals. The radiation pattern of half wave dipole antennas is omnidirectional in the horizontal plane, and the incident waves of base stations are often in the horizontal plane. For this reason, the reception is optimal.

To improve the performance of diversity antennas, it is recommended that the radiation pattern of the slave antenna be complementary with that of the master antenna.

The following radiation patterns are recommended for the antennas on laptops:

zMaster antenna: omnidirectional

zSlave antenna: complementary with the radiation pattern of the master slave

zGPS antenna: omnidirectional

zWi-Fi antenna: omnidirectional

Gain and Directivity

The radiation pattern of an antenna represents the field strength of the radiated electromagnetic waves in all directions, but not the power density that the antenna radiates in the specific direction. The directivity of an antenna, however, measures the power density that the antenna radiates.

Gain, as another important parameter of antennas, correlates closely to the directivity. The gain of an antenna takes both the directivity and the efficiency of the antenna
