Abstract

AbstractMultiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless systems use multiple element antennas (MEAs) at the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX) in order to offer improved information rates (capacity) over conventional single antenna systems in rich scattering environments. In this paper, an example of a simple MIMO system is considered in which both antennas and scattering objects are formed by wire dipoles. Such a system can be analyzed in the strict electromagnetic (EM) sense and its capacity can be determined for varying array size, interelement spacing, and distributions of scatterers. The EM model of this MIMO system can be used to assess the validity of single‐ or double‐bounce scattering models for mixed line of sight (LOS) and non‐line of sight (NLOS) signal‐propagation conditions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
