Abstract :
This paper deals with the challenges related to evaluating the performance of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) within an underground mine environment at 2.4 GHz, two measurement campaigns are presented where two types of MIMO antennas are investigated, aiming to identify the optimal antenna technology that allows to improve the performance of MIMO system in terms of correlation and capacity.
