Abstract: A polarization diversity radio communication system suitable for radio communication in indoor space is provided for transmitting from a transmitter a series of data sequentially from one of two or more transmission antennas of the transmitter, and for reproducing the data received at a receiver through a single reception antenna of the receiver when the series data are received from the transmitter. Thus, the transmitted data from any part of the indoor space can be received efficiently, and a high S/N ratio can be assured on the reception side.

Abstract: An antenna and its electronic circuit combination is presented to comprise a ground conductor plane 30, a radiating conductor plane 40 disposed in parallel spaced relation to the ground plane 30 and shorted at its one end to the ground plane 30. A ground plane 30 is preferably formed on a printed board 10 which is disposed in parallel relation to the radiating plane 40 to define therebetween an open air space. Mounted on the printed board 10 and received within the open air space are electronic components which form a receiving or transmitting electronic circuit 60 associated with the antenna structure and electrically coupled by means of a feed element 20 to a feed point 44 on the radiating plane 40.
