Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of three multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques. It is observed that the spatial MIMO technique slightly out-performs both the polarisation and joint spatial and polarisation MIMO systems. But, owing to the fact that the orthogonal polarisation MIMO antennas are co-located, the resulting compact set makes the polarisation MIMO technique attractive for future designs of high-speed high-capacity mobile communications systems.
