Abstract
In this paper, a 4-element reconfigurable multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is characterized for channel capacity in an indoor environment. The measurements are performed by implementing a 44 MIMO system using software defined radios (SDR). The given antenna operates across several well-known frequency bands between 0.7 GHz to 3 GHz while the channel capacity measurements are performed at 2.45 GHz WLAN band. The performance of the reconfigurable printed antenna is compared with an array of four standard monopoles which are half wavelength apart. The MIMO system using the printed antenna showed a channel capacity of 8 bits/sec/Hz in line-of-sight (LOS) indoor environment and 10 bits/sec/Hz in non-LOS (NLOS) indoor environment.
