Abstract :
This paper presents an investigation on the achievable gain in ultra wideband (UWB) indoor propagation channels through the application of diversity and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques. Both, signal to noise ratio and channel capacity are investigated based on simulation results from a ray-optical simulator. In particular the different behavior of classic diversity approaches and spatial multiplexing MIMO is regarded.
