Fundamental capacity limits on compact MIMO-OFDM systems
2012 ieee international conference on communications (icc), 2547–2552.
We undertake an information-theoretic approach to characterize the optimal design of a broadband multi-antenna system in the presence of mutual coupling. It was shown recently that mutual coupling effectively decomposes otherwise spectrally-identical spatial modes of an antenna array into spectrally non-identical eigen-modes. We shall use Shannon's information theory and Fano's broadband matching theory to develop optimal transceiver designs for a compact broadband MIMO system. It will be shown that in the presence of channel state information, optimal transmit power allocation and matching characteristic follow a mutual space-frequency water-pouring solution.
