Abstract
Methods of designing, installing and operating communications systems including multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna arrays are disclosed. The methods account for the diffusive nature, the polarization nature, and the multi-path nature of the environment in which the antenna arrays operate. According to the various methods, the antennas can be designed, installed and operated so as to provide improved information capacity based on the diffusive, polarization and multi-path nature of the environment in which they operate.
