Abstract :
Using a directional receive (RX) antenna array the channel capacity of an 8 × 8 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in an office scenario at 5.2 GHz for different RX directions and positions is measured. The average MIMO capacity can be related to dominant wave propagation. However, when path-loss is normalised out, MIMO capacity is nearly independent of RX direction and position.
