Abstract
It has been demonstrated that zero correlation of a random multiple-input multiple-output channel is not a guarantee of its high capacity. Degenerate channels exist, which have zero correlation and still low capacity. We provide a statistical analysis of this phenomenon, formulate the general condition for a channel to be degenerate, and propose a method to estimate its capacity.
