Abstract

Previous studies have investigated communications between regions of space and have considered the effect of antenna volume in determining the theoretical capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MMO) communications systems. In this paper the effects of antenna ¹volume on available bandwidth for MIMO systems is considered. It is demonstrated that while higher order modal connections can be established even for small antennas that a fundamental limitation on bandwidth exists. This limitation becomes important for ultra-wide band (UWB) communications systems.
