Abstract

Spatial fading correlation severely impairs the performance of an antenna array system that relies on space diversity capability. In this paper, we first reviewed the general closed-form expression for the fading correlation function which could be applied to various array geometries and energy distributions of angle-of-arrival (AOA) in a mobile radio environment. Then, we applied them in studying the fading correlation under the case of multi-cluster arriving, and analyzed the correlation matrix for different antenna array structure.
