This paper presents an investigation on the achievable gain in ultra wideband (UWB) indoor propagation channels through the application of diversity and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques. Both, signal to noise ratio and channel capacity are investigated based on simulation results from a ray-optical simulator. In particular the different behavior of classic diversity approaches and spatial multiplexing MIMO is regarded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
