Spectrum sensing using multiple dual polarization antennas for cognitive radio systems in microcell environments

Spectrum sensing with multiple antennas for cognitive radio systems in microcell environments is affected by the spatial correlation among multiple antennas. To reduce the adverse effects of the spatial correlation on the spectrum sensing performance, we employ multiple dual polarization antennas at the sensing node of secondary users. The analysis of the spatial correlation is derived using the propagation characteristics of the electromagnetic wave based on the scattering patch model in a multipath microcell environment. The superiority of spectrum sensing with multiple dual polarized antennas over multiple mono-polarized antennas is shown by analyzing the false alarm and detection probabilities with the correlation among the antennas in a microcell environment.
