heal.abstract	Diversity techniques have been extensively considered for application in propagation media, examining various combining schemes, to mitigate the effects of short-term fading probability and consequently to reduce the required fading margin. Narrowband propagation measurements were conducted within a four-story building at Technical University of Athens under a number of different radio path conditions, using a dual-channel-receiving unit, consisting of two spectrum analyzers, controlled by a personal computer. This paper presents the results of indoor radio propagation using space and cross-polarization diversity measurements in an indoor wireless radio channel at 1.8 GHz. Moreover, the diversity gain at 99% signal reliability level and corresponding cross-correlation coefficients have been estimated by considering selection and maximal ratio-combining diversity schemes. The results are very important for system designers of indoor communication systems, involving data transmission on wireless mobile networks. A detailed description of the measurement environment and experimental setup is given. From the measurements collected, the parameters of power decay factor and temporal fading signal statistics were also estimated and analyzed.	en
