Question

Diversity requires a training sequence.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in a national level competition.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Diversity Techniques topic in chapter Equalization, Diversity and Channel Coding of Wireless/Mobile

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) False

For explanation I would say: Unlike equalization, diversity requires no training overhead since a training sequence is not required by the transmitter. Diversity is a powerful communication receiver technique that provides wireless link improvement at a relatively low cost.
