摘要
In this paper, we provide a theoretical, simulation and experimental characterization of the performance of linear arrays of tri-polarized dipole antennas in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems in terms of degrees of freedom and channel capacity. Specifically, we formulate three distinct approaches, theoretical and experimental, that lead to the conclusion that linear arrays of tri-polarized dipole antennas employed at the transmit and receive end of a MIMO system can achieve a three-fold increase in channel capacity with respect to analogous arrays of linearly polarized antennas.
