Abstract(in English) In gas smart meter for collective housing, there is a problem of propagation loss caused in the metal box called "pipe shaft". In this report, it is clarified that improvement effect by antenna selection diversity using 2-elements inverted F antenna array solve the problem of propagation loss in pipe shaft. The influence is investigated of the distance between the receiving antenna elements on improvement antenna gain. Finally, the design princple to make diversity antenna for gas smart meter is shown.
