Abstract-This paper presents a MIMO throughput based assessment of three candidate antenna arrays, each of which was constructed from a different type of antenna element. A model of the MIMO channel resolved in orthogonal polarization planes was employed to apply multipath parameters of the channel to antenna array patterns, in order to predict the antenna-gain inclusive channel response. Based on simulations of the antenna inclusive channel, an analysis of the effect of antenna element properties including directivity, efficiency and polarization on the statistics of the overall MIMO channel response is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
