Data rates and transmission reliability can thus be increased. However, crosstalk that occurs between the antennas considerably impairs transmission quality. This special form of multipath propagation must therefore be appropriately taken into account in channel simulation. A typical MIMO system is a 2x2 system, which contains two receiving and two transmitting ... ...
