Periodic Fluctuations in Channel Capacity due to the Rotation of Propeller in Flying Cars MIMO

摘要

One of the most distinguishing characteristics in MIMO communication for flying cars, as compared with ordinary ground-based car radios, is the periodic fluctuations in channel responses due to the rotation of propeller. This paper presents effects of propeller on inter-flying cars MIMO communication. The analytical results show that the propeller gives two kinds of effects; changes in the channel gain due to shadowing and variations of the correlation due to path differences, yielding periodic instantaneous responses of MIMO channel capacity in association with the rotation of propeller.
