Abstract :
A comparison of different very compact antenna arrays for MIMO systems is presented. It is shown that a combination of different diversity techniques, like spatial, pattern and polarization diversity, leads to compact capable MIMO systems. First, simulations showing the fundamentals of polarization diversity in MIMO systems are given. Second, channel measurements with different antenna array configurations are shown.
