Abstract

This paper results from a collaborative work between the LEAT of the University of Nice and the Radio Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in the framework of the DEMAS project of ACE2, the European antenna-center of excellence. The purpose is the channel capacity evaluation of different UMTS multi-antenna systems with high and low isolation in indoor and outdoor environments for MIMO purposes. The antennas have been designed at the LEAT and presented in previous papers. The evaluation of the channel capacity has been done with a practical tool called measurement-based antenna test bed (MEBAT) which is presented by TKK in several papers.
