Box 76 Epping NSW 1710 Australia Received 1 April 2006 Revised 16 October 2006 Accepted 19 October 2006 Recommended by Merouane Debbah We present the results of multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing MIMO-OFDM channel measurements. The measurements were performed in indoor environments using four transmitters and four receivers with 40 MHz bandwidth at GHz. Our measurements reveal two-dimensional small-scale fading and correlation between MIMO subchannels. In the line-of-sight LoS case the MIMO-OFDM channel capacity is found to be strongly dependent on the local scattering environment and much less dependent in the non-LoS NLoS case. Also MIMO channel capacity is found to be largely uncorrelated over 20 MHz in NLoS while a strong correlation is found over 40 MHz in some LoS environments. The validity of the conventional Kronecker correlation channel model is tested along with a recently proposed joint correlation model. The effects of varying antenna element spacing are also investigated taking into account such effects as mutual coupling radiation efficiency and radiation pattern.
