Tachkling mutual coupling in antenna arrays for wireless communications
نویسنده
چکیده
A new model for tacking mutual coupling in wireless communications is introduced. A new concept of receiving mutual impedance is introduced and explained theoretically. Receiving mutual impedances for typical antenna arrays are obtained. Application of the new method is demonstrated in several arrays for direction finding, adaptive nulling, and MIMO communications.

Impact of Mutual Coupling on Adaptive Switching Between MIMO Transmission Strategies and Antenna Configurations
Adaptive switching between multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission strategies like diversity and spatialmultiplexing is a flexible approach to respond to channel variations. It is desirable to obtain accurate estimates of the switching points between these transmission schemes to realize the capacity gains made possible by adaptive switching. In this paper, it is shown that the accur...
متن کاملThe Capacity of MIMO Wireless Systems with Mutual Coupling
MIMO wireless systems employing antenna arrays with close inter-element spacings exhibit a high degree of mutual coupling. In this case, the channel transfer matrix is a function of the matching network employed at transmit and receive. Existing capacity expressions are inappropriate, since the maximum mutual information will depend on antenna element loading. This paper develops a new expressi...
