Abstract
In this paper the performance of a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system operating in an indoor environment, featuring both Line of Sight (LOS) and Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) signal propagation, is assessed. In the model the scattering objects are assumed to be uniformly distributed in an area surrounding the transmitting and receiving array antennas. Mutual coupling effects in the arrays are treated in an exact manner. However interactions with scattering objects are taken into account via a single bounce approach. Computer simulations are carried out for the system capacity for varying inter-element spacing in the receiving array for assumed values of LOS/NLOS power fraction and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).
