Abstract

The performance of future wireless communication systems can be highly increased by utilizing multiple antennas at both sides of a wireless communication link. A concept for MIMO double directional wide-band channel measurements is presented and high-resolution channel parameter estimation is applied. Furthermore, a procedure, where MIMO capacities are obtained by one single SISO channel transfer function, is discussed. Finally, a ray-tracing tool is used for comparison.
