Abstract :
A picocell UWB MIMO communications system model is considered which has five orthogonal sub-channels, each with its own OFDM signal. The effect of removing the various channel impulse response components which arise due to the multi-path propogation, a phenomenon characteristic of wide band transmission, is considered. This is a measurement based analysis where the measurements, themselves, were made, in a specially constructed enclosure which had reflective surfaces, using specially designed UWB antennas.
