Abstract :
We express signal correlation in a waveguide in terms of waveguide modes. We investigate the effect of waveguide dimensions, element location and attenuation on transmitter and receiver correlation. An analytical approach for the calculation of the signal correlation is proposed, and the results are verified with simulations. Good agreement is achieved as well as huge savings in computation time. The analytical method provides an intuitive explanation for the capacity behavior of a MIMO system in a hallway environment.
