  • Abstract
    We develop a modal approach for analyzing multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel propagation in a tunnel with lossy walls. We use parametric methods to study the effects of the number of modes and of the separation among antennas. We evaluate the performance of the MIMO channel in terms of capacity as a function of range and tunnel size.
