Abstract
Recent investigations of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) architectures for
wireless communication have aroused much interest in their potential to achieve high spectral efficiencies. This increase in capacity is dependent upon the propagation environment exhibiting sufficient scattering. The characterisation of MIMO channels is therefore required in order to
analyse the performance of such architectures in real environments. This paper describes the development of a measurement system for this application, capable of completing measurements within the coherence time of the channel. Initial results are presented which illustrate both
temporal and spatial channel variations
