MIMO channels from multipath parameter extraction vs. direct measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a capacity based analysis of directional Multiple-Input MultipleOutput (MIMO) channel measurements that were conducted with (16 x 16) element Uniform Circular Arrays (UCA) of patch antennas. The effect of antenna array configuration on performance has been investigated. A comparison between directly measured MIMO channels and MIMO channels generated from the multipath parameters that were extracted using the HS-SAGE algorithm is also presented.

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

A novel subspace based joint angle of arrival (AOA), angles of departure (AOD), Doppler shifts and polarization states parameter estimation scheme for polarized two-dimensional (2D) double directional MIMO multipath channels is proposed in this paper. A narrowband system with non-polarized uniform linear array at the transmitter and cross-polarized antenna array at the receiver is considered. T...

متن کاملA Novel Environment Characterization 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 modeling tool, we construct synthetic channels for three different scenarios showing: (i) well separated clusters containing dense propagation pat...
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...
