Abstract

In this paper we present the results of a MIMO wideband measurement campaign carried out in hallways (indoor scenario) with a carrier frequency of 2 GHz. The wideband and narrowband channel capacity and MIMO channel characteristics were evaluated. The correlation between channel capacity and physical parameters as azimuth spread (AS) and delay spread (DS) was analyzed. Besides, the channel characterization was also analyzed through power delay profile (PDP) and power azimuth spectrum (PAS).
