Mutual coupling effects on the capacity of multielement antenna systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study of the capacity of multiple element antenna systems is presented, with particular emphasis on the effect that mutual coupling between the antenna elements has on the capacity. The results presented here shows, contrary to some earlier claims, that correlation between different channel coefficients as a function of antenna spacing, can in fact decrease when the mutual coupling effect is accounted for. As a consequence, capacity also improves. A realistic channel model is used to perform simulations to support these claims.

It is known that if a conductor resides in the neighboring of an antenna with a small distance relative to the wavelength, it induces a reverse current on the conductor. This paper involves the unavoidable coupling effects on some common types of LF antennas, due to the large wavelength in this frequency band. In particular, after some discussions about top-loaded antennas, the coupling effect ...

In this paper, we investigate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the palm-sized multi-antenna communication systems. The presented analysis includes the mutual coupling on both, signal and thermal noise. We apply the Nyquist’s thermal noise theorem to determine the thermal noise behavior in the multi-antenna system and to confirm the partial correlation of thermal noise for antenna spacing lowe...
