Abstract

In this paper we present and analyze spatial correlation properties of indoor 4x2 MIMO UWB channels in personal area network (PAN) scenarios. The presented results are based on measurement of radio links between an access point like device and a hand held or belt mounted device with dynamic user. It is found the channel shows spatial correlated wideband power, and spatial uncorrelated complex channel coefficients at different frequencies and delays with respect to a correlation coefficient threshold of 0.7. The Kronecker model is proved not suitable for
the investigated scenarios. The MIMO UWB channel achieves an ergodic capacity close to i.i.d. Rayleigh channel capacity. However the outage capacity degrades due to the wideband power fluctuation / shadowing introduced by user’s body.
