Abstract :
Based on the results of a numerical investigation, the performance of the parasitic-MIMO system can be improved with the introduction of simple and cheap parasitic elements. The introduction of the switchable parasitic elements help to modify the channel introducing a sort of "controllable scatterers" in the close proximity of the active elements. The presence of such new scatterers provides benefits from the obtained channel diversity
