Abstract-We explore combined effect of spatial correlation and mutual coupling matrix, and its subsequent effects on performance of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems After the decoupling process. We will also look at a correlation based stochastic channel model with the linear antenna arrays as the signal source. For the purpose of understanding, it is assumed that fading is correlated at both transmitter and receiver sides, in spite of the fact that the decoupling network enhances isolation between Receiving antenna array. In this paper, we model the transmit the antenna array in CST Microwave Studio, as a uniform linear Array with monopoles as antenna elements. On the receiving side, the scattering parameters of the coupled and decoupled monopole Array are measured in an anechoic chamber. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show the joint dependency of the system capacity on an angle of arrival (AoA) and antenna element spacing, with enhanced system performance at reduced AoAs with Increased antenna element separation. Consequently, essential benefits of MIMO system performance can be achieved with an efficient decoupling network while boosting the signal sources by adding further antenna elements.
