  • Abstract
    The capacity of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) wireless channels is computed for Ricean channels. The novelty is a geometrical (ray-tracing) interpretation of the MIMO channel capacity formula to find array geometries which greatly enhance channel capacity compared to single input-single output (SISO) systems
