We present a new coordinated beamforming technique for two receivers that is suitable for MIMO broadcast channels with signal and noise correlation at the receiver. We then apply this technique to the specific type of signal and noise correlation that occurs in the presence of receiver mutual coupling. Numerical results suggest that, even in the presence of strong coupling, most of the benefits of coordinated beamforming can be preserved by using appropriate matching networks and linear beamforming. Moreover, these benefits can be achieved even when feedback is limited.}, journal={EURASIP JOURNAL ON ADVANCES IN SIGNAL PROCESSING}, author={Dong, Yuhan and Domizioli, Carlo P. and Hughes, Brian L.}, year={2009} } @article{dong_hughes_lazzi_2008, title={Mutual Coupling Effects in MIMO MRC Systems with Limited Feedback}, ISSN={["1930-529X"]}, DOI={10.1109/glocom.2008.ecp.692}, abstractNote={We consider the impact of transmitter correlation, mutual coupling and matching networks on the design and performance of MIMO MRC systems with limited feedback. We present codebook design techniques for three measures of transmitted power and we investigate the impact of antenna matching on the performance of these codebooks. Numerical results suggest that, regardless of the power measure and matching networks, the benefits of MIMO MRC with limited feedback can be achieved with antennas spaced as close as 0.2 - 0.3 wavelengths apart.}, journal={GLOBECOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE}, author={Dong, Yuhan and Hughes, Brian L. and Lazzi, Gianluca}, year={2008} }
