An Outdoor Scattering Channel Model for Dual-Polarized MIMO Systems

In this paper, an outdoor quasi-three dimensional ellipse MIMO channel model based on geometric scattering distribution is presented. The proposed model takes into account the polarization patterns of the transmit antennas and receive antennas and the impact of scattering patch model to the polarization properties of electromagnetic wave. The validation of dual-polarized MIMO channels is compared with the mono-polarized MIMO channels. The simulation results demonstrate that the transmit and receive antenna correlations can be reduced, so that the channel capacity can be improved for dual-polarized MIMO channels.
