Channel Capacity Evaluation of MIMO Antenna Based on Eigenvalues of S-Parameter

In this paper, a method of calculating the mean channel capacity based on S -parameter of MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) antenna is proposed. This method exploits the correlation matrix calculated from the antenna S -parameter matrix, and offers highly accurate estimates of the mean channel capacity without dependence on SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio). The numerical and experimental results revealed that the proposed method can calculate the channel capacity with fair accuracy independent of the number and spacing of the antenna elements if the radiation efficiency is sufficiently high. key words: MIMO, capacity, S -parameter
