In the multipath mobile channel, the received signal is affected
by both flat fading and selective fading. Using an adaptive array is an
effective method to compensate for selective fading, whereas a diversity
antenna is good at compensating for flat fading. In this paper, a
switching adaptive/diversity antenna is presented and examined with
computer simulation. For evaluating the signal whose

repeatedly within a short duration, the probability of DUR (desired to
undesired signal ratio) below a given value is adopted. The computer
simulation results show that the proposed switching adaptive/diversity
antenna can compensate for both flat fading and selective fading
