Abstract :
This paper presents a simple multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channel model that predicts the eigenvalue distribution and hence, the capacity of MIMO systems using vertically polarized and dual-polarized transmit-antenna configurations with dual-polarized receive antennas. The channel model is verified using broadband outdoor channel measurements taken by a 2 x 3 MIMO system in the 2.5 GHz band.
