Evaluation of distributed MIMO antennas for mobile terminal

In this paper, we evaluate the antenna performance with the distributed terminals in the scenario, as well as in the free space, in order to show the effectiveness of the distributed MIMO antenna architecture through the comparison to a single terminal by the computer simulation. Concretely, main and sub terminals, respectively with two antennas, and single terminal with four antennas and human body phantom are modeled and their efficiency, antenna correlation, and MIMO channel capacity are evaluated with the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) calculation.
