Abstract

Reverberation chambers have in recent years been validated as efficient tools for measuring multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Nowadays, cooperative systems are beginning to gain attention as the key to reach high speeds in the wireless environment. These systems often implement the so-called distributed MIMO. A simple method is proposed for characterizing distributed MIMO systems in reverberation chambers. Results for capacity and correlation are shown for three different distributed MIMO systems.
