چکیده
This paper describes an outdoor MIMO measurement campaign conducted in the 2GHz band employing a sounding bandwidth of 20MHz. The study aimed to compare the MIMO performance of two prototype devices with a reference dipole antenna module. The results obtained reveal a systematic blocking of one of the PDA antenna ports with the user’s thumb alongside a significant reduction in the available MIMO channel capacity. The laptop MIMO enabled device was found to offer good MIMO capacity enhancement, matching the performance achieved with the dipole antennas.

Time- and Frequency-Varying K-Factor of Non-Stationary Vehicular Channels for Safety-Relevant Scenarios
Vehicular communication channels are characterized by a non-stationary timeand frequencyselective fading process due to fast changes in the environment. We characterize the distribution of the envelope of the first delay bin in vehicle-to-vehicle channels by means of its Rician K-factor. We analyze the time-frequency variability of this channel parameter using vehicular channel measurements at ...

In this paper we propose a SISO UWB radio channel model for short-range radio link scenarios between a fixed device and a dynamic user hand-held device. The channel model is derived based on novel experimental UWB radio propagation investigations carried out in typical indoor PAN scenarios including realistic device and user terminal antenna configurations. The radio channel measurements have b...

A novel stochastic channel model for the indoor propagation channel is presented. It is especially for, but not limited to future communication systems with multiple antennas like space division multiple access (SDMA), spatial filtering for interference reduction (SFIR), or multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO). The model is designed for indoor scenarios, straight forward extendable to urban en...

The relatively recent surge in activity centered around multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques for wireless communications is based on capacity gains obtained by more fully exploiting the spatial and temporal aspects of wireless channels. The early indications moving to the use of multiple transmitters and multiple receiver elements could lead to quite significant performance improvem...
