Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) correlation matrices for high, medium, and low correlation antenna configurations are proposed. Typical microcell scenarios are adopted for simulations using an electromagnetic-based approach for full-wave field solutions. The MIMO correlation coefficients are obtained by the post-processing of these field solutions. The proposed correlation matrices are used for link-layer simulations to evaluate the effect of the channel correlation on the link error rate of a MIMO system.
