Spatial and Temporal Variations of MIMO Channels and Impacts on Capacity
01 January 2002
This paper presents an analysis of spatial and temporal variations of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels at the mobile. Dopper spread, angular spread and Rician K factor are evaluated based on the temporal correlation of field components. This approach is implemented to process the narrowband measurement results at 2.11 GHz in Manhattan, New York, with 16 transmitting antennas and 16 receiving antennas. Results show that the angular distribution is not uniform in 360 deg in azimuth as the Jakes model suggests.
