Capacity of a 2x2 MIMO antenna system with mutual coupling losses

• The capacity of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems is strongly dependent on the channel matrix which in turn can be expressed in integrals over the antenna far-0 eld patterns. In this paper the effect of mutual coupling on the capacity of a 2 x 2 MIMO system is studied. The results show that even though the correlation is reduced the losses caused by mutual coupling decrease the capacity as we reduce the antenna spacing.
