Abstract :
We have analysed the performance of multimode antennas arrays in double directional finite scatterers channel model with and without mutual coupling and compared the results with Omni directional antenna arrays. We have shown that multimode antennas are more suited as array elements as they perform better with regards to capacity and spatial correlation as a function of separation due to the more directional radiation patterns of transverse magnetic modes (TM).
