Fundamental bounds on MIMO antennas

Abstract
Antenna current optimization is often used to analyze the optimal perfor-
mance of antennas. Antenna performance can be quantied in e.g., minimum
Q-factor and maximal gain over Q-factor ratio. The performance of MIMO
antennas is more involved and a single parameter is, in general, not sucient
to quantify it. Here, the capacity of an idealized channel is used as the main
performance quantity. An optimization problem in the current distribution
for optimal capacity, measured in spectral eciency, given a xed Q-factor
and eciency is formulated as a semi-denite optimization problem. A model
order reduction based on characteristic and energy modes is employed to im-
prove the computational eciency. The bound... (More)
