Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of the effect of different antenna layouts on the capacity of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system capacity. Based on the narrow-band, flat fading channel model, the effect of scattering environment and antenna layout are considered by incorporating the power azimuth spectrum (PAS) and the array manifold vector. Under the same antenna aperture, six antenna layouts are investigated among which the UCA yields the best capacity while ULA yields the lowest capacity. The more symmetric the antenna geometry is, the better capacity performance it has.
