Abstract :
This paper studies the impact of a matching circuit of a handset MIMO antenna mounted on a small metal housing on the wideband channel capacity. The results demonstrate that the optimum matching condition strongly depends on both the antenna separation and the required system bandwidth. Finally, through in-depth considerations, the mechanism causing the cross-over behaviour for the channel capacity has been clarified.
