Statistical evaluation of the MIMO gain for LMS channels

For the mobile reception of satellite signals, technologies like antenna diversity and angle diversity have already been evaluated in the field [1]. The MIMOSA project targets the evaluation and modelling of satellite MIMO propagation channels for land mobile users. The project is currently in progress and its full results are expected in the second half of 2011.
