RESUMO

Multiple antenna systems known as MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems have been proposed as an effective way to address the user demand for high data rate applications in wireless systems. This is especially important in systems where the capacity attained with traditional techniques is very limited due to the adverse characteristics of the propagation environment. With MIMO, some of these characteristics are used to create parallel channels producing significant increase in capacity. The analysis of MIMO capacity is based on models developed from the statistical behavior of the multiple links between the transmitting and receiving antennas, and therefore there has been large interest in measuring these characteristics in typical scenarios and in relating the data to system parameters. In this thesis the results of a MIMO wideband measurement campaign carried out in an indoor scenario with a carrier frequency of 2 GHz is presented. The wideband and narrowband channel capacity and several channel parameters are evaluated from the measured data. The channel parameters are estimated using the frequency domain Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation maximization (FD- SAGE) algorithm. Temporal and spatial dispersions of the multipath channel are calculated from the estimated parameters and an eigenvalue analysis is performed seeking to relate the capacity values to the number of parallel channels. In addition, the correlation between channel capacity and physical parameters as antenna spacing, angle spread, delay spread, number and power of multipath components is investigated.
