Measurements of MIMO-UWB indoor channel

Channel measurements are reported for an emulated indoor MIMO-UWB system. The emulated system represents a ceiling-mounted access-point with two identical UWB, horizontally-polarized, antennas and a portable terminal for desk-top use with between two and four (also identical) horizontally-polarized antennas. The maximum MIMO-UWB channel capacities of the measured channels are calculated and the statistics of these capacities are presented. The channel capacity advantage of MIMO-UWB over SISO-UWB is also presented.
