Abstract :
In this work, it is shown how the communication channel can be spatially sampled with point sources of different polarization and antenna type. As result capacity maximizing current distributions are obtained out of which optimum antenna patterns can be suggested. Results for a complex urban scenario based on ray-tracing simulations are presented and the effectiveness of the method for the study of the achievable capacities in a certain scenario is shown.
