Abstract :
In this paper, we perform an experimental MIMO wireless channel characterization in an outdoor environment. We use the data acquired during wideband channel measurement campaigns made in Kista, Stockholm, Sweden. In order to predict the impact of DOA distribution and polarization diversity on the channel capacity, we have chosen specific measurement routes and locations as well as different MIMO antenna array configurations.
