Radio channel measurements on an eight-branch indoor office distributed antenna system

This paper presents an extensive set of measurements made on a large distributed antenna system. Distributed antenna systems are known to give a capacity increase due to extended channel reuse. How far this concept can be taken is of particular interest. We present a partial answer by analysing the measurements in terms of the discrimination between measured user signals. The measurements are considered to be significant since they include all the effects of a real user scenario in the indoor office environment.
