Experimental Characterisation of Mimo Propagation Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the experimental characterisation of MIMO propagation channels. The requirements for the measurement system are discussed and the developed system is described. At the second part of the paper the analysis methods of MIMO measurement results are introduced and results are presented both for outdoor and indoor for several different antenna configurations. The significance of large scale propagation effects like shadowing on MIMO capacity gain is shown. It seems also obvious that the antenna directivity is an important factor for the fluctuation of the achieved MIMO capacity.

متن کاملA Novel Environment Characterisation Metric for Clustered MIMO Channels Used to Validate a SAGE Parameter Estimator
In this work we introduce a novel metric for characterizing the double-directional propagation environment and use this metric to assess the performance of a SAGE parameter estimator for MIMO channels. Using the IlmProp, a geometry-based MIMO channel model, we construct synthetic channels for three different scenarios showing: (i) well separated, dense clustered propagation paths with single-bo...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of the temporal variation of MIMO channels
The measurement and characterisation of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels has gained increasing attention over recent years. Previous analysis of MIMO measurements has generally focussed on the evaluation of the capacity of such systems in differing locations and configurations. In this paper we present measurements made in an indoor environment at 5.2GHz, specifically to investiga...
متن کاملCompressive MIMO Beamforming of Data Collected in a Refractive Environment
The phenomenon of ducting is caused by abnormal atmospheric refractivity patterns, and is known to allow electromagnetic (EM) waves to propagate over the horizon with unusually low propagation loss. It is unknown what effect ducting has on multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channels, particularly its effect on multipath propagation in MIMO channels. A high accuracy angle-of-arrival (AoA) and...
متن کاملRelationship between physical and subspace propagation channels Simulation and experimental study
The channel capacity of a MIMO telecommunication system depends on different parameters such as the signal-tonoise ratio, the space-time characteristics of the propagation channel, the antenna array geometry and the antenna pattern. However, the propagation channel remains the strongest constraint imposed on designers of new radio air interfaces. Using a MIMO channel model, computer simulations...
