Abstract

In the following, we present a novel wideband multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) channel model. The model is based on the eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) of the wideband channel correlation matrix. It does not assume the scatterers at the receiver fade independently of those at the transmitter. It also models correlation between delay bins in the power delay profile (PDP). With preliminary data gathered using the Wideband MIMO software defined radio (WMSDR) in fixed outdoor locations, we show good agreement between modeled and measured data
