Abstract :
In this paper, we demonstrate the effects of mutual coupling on embedded radiation efficiency, correlation, diversity gain, and MIMO efficiency for single and multiple bit streams in rich isotropic multipath (RIMP) environment by using parallel dipoles and a compact wideband four-port antenna as examples.
