Abstract

LTE and LTE Advanced system performance evaluation is mainly done by simulations based on standardized assumptions and methodology. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna systems require a spatial channel model. Important antenna types are cross-polarized antenna structures which are simulated based on a cross-polarization extension of the spatial channel model. In this paper we show some shortcomings of the widely used X-Pol channel model and we present a solution based on coordinate transformation.
