Abstract

In this paper, the MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) channel characteristics for Rx antenna spacing are described in the real environment, which has LOS(Ling of Sight) and NLOS (Won-Line of Sight). We developed $2\times2$ MIMO channel measurement system at 2.3GHz Wibro Band. MIMO antenna evaluation parameters such as received power, channel capacity and spatial correlation are evaluated for standard dipole antenna with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 wavelength spacing at 2-position for LOS and 4-position for NLOS. The spatial correlation is distributed more than 0.9 in most LOS case which might be intricate to operate MIMO communication. MIMO antenna design need to be focused on getting spatial diversity and reducing spatial correlation in LOS case.

본 논문은 LOS(Line of Sight) 및 NLOS(Non Line of Sight)등 실제 MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) 환경에 서의 수신 안테나의 간격에 따른 전파 채널 특성에 관하여 기술 하였다. $2\times2$ MIMO 채널 측정 시스템을 구축하여 2.3GHz Wibro 대역에서 측정을 하였다. 수신안테나의 간격에 따른 특성을 분석하기 위해 반파장 표준 다이폴 안테나의 간격을 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 1.0 파장 간격 이격시켜 MIMO 안테나 수신 성능을 측정 하였으며, 측정 위치는 LOS 2곳 NLOS 4곳에 대하여 행하였다. 측정 곁과 직접파를 수신 하는 LOS 환경에서는 공간 상관계수가 NLOS 환경에 비해 높은 값을 나타내었다. MIMO 시스템에서는 0.9 이상의 높은 공간 상관계수는 성능의 열화를 가져 올 수 있으므로 이를 극복하기 위한 안테나 및 시스템의 설계가 이루어져야 한다.
