MIMO channels in tunnels: experimental approach and stochastic model

The results of experimental works which have been carried out to characterize MIMO channels in tunnels are described. The variation of the channel capacity versus the distance between the transmitting and receiving arrays is outlined. A stochastic model is also proposed to simulate the channel behavior in various parts of the channel.
