Abstract

In this paper, we characterize the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) performance of a multi-port wideband receive antenna with three ideal (i. e. unity embedded radiation efficiency and no correlation) transmit antennas. Different configurations (feeding networks) of the antenna under test (AUT) are examined by measurements in a reverberation chamber. These configurations are studied in terms of embedded radiation efficiencies, correlations, and ergodic MIMO capacities.
