Abstract

The aim of this paper is to simulate the behavior of the MIMO channel under bad urban and rural environments for a (4×2) MIMO multipath fading channel. The fading envelops for different paths were observed and analyzed after manipulating certain parameters such as: changing the symbol rate, doppler shift, and antenna elements´ spacing within T_x and R_x sides of the MIMO system. The results shows that the channel behavior becomes more stable when increasing the symbol rate and antennas spacing, and when reducing the Doppler shift.
