“…The second observation is that the capacity drops as the antennas are placed closer together, which is not surprising since greater correlation will occur between the received signals. Figure 11 shows the CCDF curves for the λ/2 spaced dipole and λ/2 spaced patch antenna cases [33].…”

A recent development in wireless communications is the application of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to radio communications via use of multiple antennas. In order to investigate the technology's potential, an experimental MIMO system which contains two four-element antenna arrays (4 × 4) has been developed at the University of Alberta. The system is used to obtain MIMO channel measurements in a typical indoor office environment in the ISM band (902 -928 MHz). Measurement campaigns were performed using different antenna spacings and two different types of antenna: half-wavelength (λ/2) centre-fed dipoles and dual polarized patches. The measurements are used to calculate channel capacities for an indoor 4 × 4 MIMO system. The measurements confirm the high capacity potential of a MIMO channel, with ergodic capacity of approximately 21 bits per channel use available with either antenna type at a signal-to-noise ratio of 20 dB if the antenna element separation is λ/2 or larger. An introduction to basic MIMO theory, a discussion of the University of Alberta wireless MIMO testbed, and observations regarding the measured indoor MIMO channel are presented in the paper.

“…In this regards, to increase the capacity of communication systems, one prefers to use dual polarization. These antennas increase channel capacity per frequency in many applications and reduce the side effects of multipath fading [2–5]. Also, dual polarized operation has found many applications in wireless communication systems that requires frequency reuse or polarization diversity, for example, useful for all UMTS bands (European frequency allocation from 1.9 to 2.2 GHz for UMTS‐TDD, UMTS‐Sat, UMTS‐FDD) [5].…”

A printed sectoral monopole antenna with ultra wide bandwidth has been proposed. This configuration is formed by chopping off a quarter part of a circular printed disc. The ultra wide bandwidth has been obtained in the frequency range from 1.84 to 11.82 GHz with dual polarization radiation patterns. The experimental and simulated results for this proposed antenna are presented, which are in agreement.
