Abstract :
Extensive measurements have been carried out in Paris subway tunnels to determine the channel characteristics and to deduce the available channel capacity of a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission system. An analysis of the power correlation coefficients of the antennas on the train and on the platform is also performed to optimize the position of the antennas.
