Channel Capacity Enhancement using MIMO Antenna

Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is developed as a system that is capable of delivering larger capacity content in wireless communication systems hence many researches reflecting on that purpose. MIMO antenna utilizes parameters such as radiation pattern, polarization and array configuration with regard to improve the capacity in the channel. This paper presents a summary on discussions of channel capacity improvement utilizing polarization diversity technique with directional beam antenna. Three different antennas that share the same MIMO characteristics are introduced where not only simulation results, proper channel propagation measurement also is presented as a validation to real indoor communication environment.
