Evaluation of Multiple Antenna Configurations

In this paper an analytical framework for the calculation of transmission between multiple antennas is developed. The method allows an examination of different array configurations with respect to their physical antenna properties. As an application, the ergodic channel capacities for some distinct array antenna arrangements are evaluated.
