Abstract

Due to its potential performance multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems are being included in the current standard developments. Nevertheless issues like antennas proximity at the transmitter and receiver arrays can limit the achievable performance. Antennas proximity produces a phenomenon called correlation which affects the channel performance by reducing the capacity and increasing the BER. Hence, the aim of this paper is investigating the transmitter-side antennas correlation modelling and effects. Together with the appropriate signal processing (e. g. singular values decomposition), the effect of transmitter-side antennas correlation is studied. Our results show that under the effect of antennas correlation not necessarily all layers might be used for the data transmission since the weighting of the stronger layer within the MIMO system becomes even stronger respect to non-correlated channels. Simulation results are shown to underline these effects.
