Availability of multiple antennas enables increased capacity or increased resilience for modern radios. This advantage depends on the deployment of the antennas at the sender and receiver. But there is a performance gap between most simulated results and the actual performance obtained in practice. This is due to the rank of the channel obtained in...

In this paper we present a UWB channel measurement campaign in the 2 - 10 GHz band to assess if significant improvements can be obtained by the adoption of multiple antennas in UWB systems. To this aim, an analysis of spatial diversity with arrays of a variety of representative UWB antennas is presented with emphasis on the differences between virt...

In this paper, the information extracted from Single-Input Multiple-Output sounding measurements is used to study the effect of several aspects of the receive antenna arrays on system performance. The extracted multipath parameters are used to synthesize the MIMO channel matrices of a hypothesized communication system having a fixed microcellular b...

This paper introduces a coupling element to enhance the isolation between two closely packed antennas operating at the same frequency band. The proposed structure consists of two antenna elements and a coupling element which is located in between the two antenna elements. The idea is to use field cancellation to enhance isolation by putting a coupl...

In this paper, the impact of the polarization on the performance of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel with cross-polarized antennas has been investigated based on the outdoor macrocell measurement at 2.53 GHz. A simple model which can capture the major characteristics of the cross polarized channel is proposed. The effective polariz...

The influence of correlation, efficiency, and antenna branch signal unbalance on receive diversity gain and Shannon capacity is investigated. A case study using closely spaced dipoles, with mutual coupling included, is used for the analysis. These results are compared with results derived from measured embedded radiation patterns of dual-antenna mo...
