Estimation of Spherical Wave Coefficients from 3D Positioner Channel Measurements

Author

Summary, in English

Electromagnetic vector spherical waves have been used recently to model antenna-channel interaction and the available degrees of freedom in MIMO systems. However, there are no previous accounts of a method to estimate spherical wave coefficients from channel measurements. One approach for this, using a 3D positioner, is presented and analyzed in this letter. Measurement results are presented and discussed. It is concluded that estimates based on randomly positioned measurements within a volume are less sensitive to noise than those based only on measurements on the surface.
