WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH DIVERSITY/MIMO ARRAY BRANCH DECOUPLING

摘要

A method and device for determining decoupled signal parameters of received signals associated with individual antenna elements of an antenna array is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining a receiving characteristic of the antenna array, establishing an identity characteristic associated with the antenna array, the identity characteristic independently defining each of the plurality of antenna elements, and determining a decoupled signal parameter of the received signals in view of the receiving characteristic, the identity characteristic and a coupled current associated with said received signals. The device comprises a memory and a processor in communication with the memory for executing code for processing coupled signal inputs in view of a receiving characteristic and an identity characteristic of the antenna array, wherein the receiving characteristic includes a measure of coupling among the antenna elements and the identity characteristic independently identifies each of the antenna elements.
