If antenna power imbalance is large, second branch is effectively removed. In

field tests, it’s difficult to tell whether rank reduction is caused by power
imbalance or channel correlation, since often these happen simultaneously
(e.g. line-of-sight).

network. Regardless, x-pol gives higher peak tput.
