Abstract

In this paper we have made an attempt in designing a fading MIMO channel. The channel between the transmitters and receivers is Rayleigh flat fading with fading coefficients unknown to both transmitters and receivers with equal power allocation to each of the transmit antennas. To find more accurate values of capacity the spatial correlation parameters has been added into the channel model. A channel matrix is prepared which shows the relation of capacity and SNR values. Rayleigh flat-fading channel in rich scattering environments has been studied and also studied with antenna array pattern.
