MIMO channel statistics in the presence of non-uniform angle spread

We give analytical expressions for correlation, spectrum, level crossing rate, and average fade duration for the multiple-antenna fading channel in the presence of nonuniform power azimuth spectrum (PAS). Classical expressions for uniform PAS are a special case of these expressions. The expressions are valid for any antenna patterns and for any PAS.
