A wave-based wideband MIMO channel modeling technique

The paper presents a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channel modeling technique for link level and system level simulations. The classical approach of wave superposition is adopted to generate MIMO channels that are statistically consistent in delay, frequency and angle domains. The paper proposes an efficient way to generate four dimensional MIMO channel transfer matrices based on standard channel statistics such as power delay profile (PDP) and power azimuth spectrum (PAS).
