Abstract :
This contribution investigates the MIMO channel by means of measurements at the entrance of a small pedestrian tunnel at 2.4 GHz. The wireless channel is measured within 100 MHz for a 4times4 MIMO system. It focuses on variation of the transmitter offset and on different antenna spacings, in order to understand the impact of different configurations on capacity. It will be shown that capacity is sensitive to the transmitter offset. Indeed, these measurements showed than it is possible to maintain a low distance between antenna elements for a fix correlation if the transmitting offset is increased.
