Short range ultra-wideband multiple input multiple output channel measurements.

In this paper we analyze measurements of short range ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission. 2 x 2 near field UWB measurements were undertaken in an anechoic chamber using a Medav UWB MIMO channel sounder. Channel characteristics were recorded for transmitter to receiver separations of 0.1 m to 0.7 m. Two independent channels were achieved, and channel capacity is twice as high as capacity of a single channel.
