A Method for Determination of Reconfigurable Multiantenna Systems’ Performance

摘要

In this paper, a methodology for determination of reconfigurable multiantenna systems’ performance is proposed. The method complements the envelope correlation coefficient calculation with channel information for precise statement about antennas performance. The channel information is obtained from ray-tracer simulation. The approach is tested on three antennas and its effectiveness is proved by channel capacity simulation results. The presented method is a simple and powerful tool for evaluation of reconfigurable antennas and reconfigurable multiantenna systems and can be used during the design process.
