Impact of Power Normalization in Experimental MIMO Antenna Performance Studies

In this letter, an antenna independent normalization method is proposed for the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna evaluation. A conflict in the results when using proposed and widely used normalization method is verified
