TL;DR: Narrowband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) measurements using 16 transmitters and 16 receivers at 2.11 GHz were carried out in Manhattan, finding that the antennas were largely uncorrelated even at antenna separations as small as two wavelengths.
Abstract: Narrowband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) measurements using 16 transmitters and 16 receivers at 2.11 GHz were carried out in Manhattan. High capacities were found for full, as well as smaller array configurations, all within 80% of the fully scattering channel capacity. Correlation model parameters are derived from data. Spatial MIMO channel capacity statistics are found to be well represented by the separate transmitter and receiver correlation matrices, with a median relative error in capacity of 3%, in contrast with the 18% median relative error observed by assuming the antennas to be uncorrelated. A reduced parameter model, consisting of 4 parameters, has been developed to statistically represent the channel correlation matrices. These correlation matrices are, in turn, used to generate H matrices with capacities that are consistent within a few percent of those measured in New York. The spatial channel model reported allows simulations of H matrices for arbitrary antenna configurations. These channel matrices may be used to test receiver algorithms in system performance studies. These results may also be used for antenna array design, as the decay of mobile antenna correlation with antenna separation has been reported here. An important finding for the base transmitter array was that the antennas were largely uncorrelated even at antenna separations as small as two wavelengths.
TL;DR: The widely adopted yet complex single scattering channel model is significantly simplified by means of a closed-form expression for tractable analysis and Path loss is given as a function of transceiver geometry as well as atmospheric scattering and attenuation and is compared with experimental data for model validation.
Abstract: Motivated by recent advances in solid-state incoherent ultraviolet sources and solar blind detectors, we study communication link performance over a range of less than 1 km with a bit error rate (BER) below 10−3 in solar blind non-line-of-sight situation. The widely adopted yet complex single scattering channel model is significantly simplified by means of a closed-form expression for tractable analysis. Path loss is given as a function of transceiver geometry as well as atmospheric scattering and attenuation and is compared with experimental data for model validation. The BER performance of a shot-noise-limited receiver under this channel model is demonstrated.
TL;DR: It is shown that the injectivities and emissivities of the local partial densities of states are simply related to the absolute square of the scattering wave function.
Abstract: The response of an arbitrary scattering problem to quasistatic perturbations in the scattering potential is naturally expressed in terms of a set of local partial densities of states and a set of sensitivities each associated with one element of the scattering matrix We define the local partial densities of states and the sensitivities in terms of functional derivatives of the scattering matrix and discuss their relation to the Green's function Certain combinations of the local partial densities of states represent the injectivity of a scattering channel into the system and the emissivity into a scattering channel It is shown that the injectivities and emissivities are simply related to the absolute square of the scattering wave function We discuss also the connection of the partial densities of states and the sensitivities to characteristic times We apply these concepts to a \ensuremath{\delta} barrier and to the local Larmor clock \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society
TL;DR: A new sum-of-sinusoids based simulation model for wideband MIMO M-to-M Ricean fading channels is proposed and the results show that the simulation model is a good approximation of the reference model.
Abstract: A three-dimensional (3-D) geometrical propagation model for wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mobile-to-mobile (M-to-M) communications is proposed. Based on the geometrical model, a 3-D parametric reference model for wideband MIMO M-to-M multipath fading channels is developed. From the reference model, the corresponding space-time-frequency correlation function is derived for a 3-D non-isotropic scattering environment. It is shown that the time and frequency dispersion of a wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering channel cannot be treated independently, contrary to common practice. From the space-time-frequency correlation function, the space-Doppler power spectral density and the power space-delay spectrum are derived and compared with measured data. Finally, a new sum-of-sinusoids based simulation model for wideband MIMO M-to-M Ricean fading channels is proposed. The statistics of the simulation model are verified by simulation. The results show that the simulation model is a good approximation of the reference model.
TL;DR: The CAPS PMssa as discussed by the authors is a field deployable instrument that simultaneously measures airborne particle light extinction and scattering coefficients and thus the single scattering albedo (SSA) on the same sample volume.
Abstract: We describe a robust, compact, field deployable instrument (the CAPS PMssa) that simultaneously measures airborne particle light extinction and scattering coefficients and thus the single scattering albedo (SSA) on the same sample volume. With an appropriate change in mirrors and light source, measurements have been made at wavelengths ranging from 450 to 780 nm. The extinction measurement is based on cavity attenuated phase shift (CAPS) techniques as employed in the CAPS PMex particle extinction monitor; scattering is measured using integrating nephelometry by incorporating a Lambertian integrating sphere within the sample cell. The scattering measurement is calibrated using the extinction measurement. Measurements using ammonium sulfate particles of various sizes indicate that the response of the scattering channel with respect to measured extinction is linear to within 1% up to 1000 Mm−1 and can be extended further (4000 Mm−1) with additional corrections. The precision in both measurement channels is l...
