Antenna spacing in MIMO indoor channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the relation between antenna spacing and capacity of MIMO channels for indoor environments using a ray tracing program. It has been confirmed also by measurements that in rich scattering environments an antenna spacing below 0.5λ is sufficient to reach nearly the full capacity predicted for multiple-antenna arrays in ideal and uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels.

On the Capacity of Spatially Correlated MIMO Channels in a 60 GHz Indoor Environment
In this paper, we investigate the capacity of spatially correlated, multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) channels in a 60 GHz indoor environment. We first derive the correlation coefficients between two antenna elements as a function of the antenna spacing. Then, the standard deviation of the power azimuth spectrum (PAS) and the mean angle of arrival (AOA) are obtained for the truncated Laplac...
متن کاملGeometric Modelling of a Spatially Correlated Mimo Fading Channel
For a single antenna channel, Shannon’s classical capacity formula predicts a capacity increase of approximately 1 bit/cycle for every 3 dB increase in signal to noise ratio (SNR). Consequently in multiple antenna arrays, with n antenna elements, the increase in capacity can be in the order of the number of antenna elements, n more bits/cycle for each 3dB increase in SNR. This tremendous gain i...
متن کاملMeasured Capacities at 5.8 GHz of Indoor MIMO Systems with MIMO Interference
The capacity performances of two interfering flatfading MIMO links are determined based on measured channels. Time-multiplexing of the links (TDMA), that is, when the MIMO links take turns operating without interference, serves as our baseline case. To this, we compare the spatial-multiplexed case (SDMA), which allows both MIMO links to operate simultaneously. Under SDMA, both open-loop (no cha...

متن کاملExperimental Study on MIMO Performance of Modulated Scattering Antenna Array in Indoor Environment
The modulated scattering antenna array (MSAA) is composed of one normal antenna element and several modulated scattering elements (MSEs). In this report, a 2-element MSAA is used as the receiving antenna in 2 × 2 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. MIMO performance of MSAA with various array spacing is measured to investigate the relation between the array spacing and the MIMO perform...
