Single Bounce Air to Ground Communication Channel Capacity for MIMO Applications

ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / This paper addresses the air-to-ground communication problem, where multiple transmit antennas
are used on the aircraft to combat multi-path interference. The channel is assumed to have a
line-of-sight component and a single ground reflection. Multiple input multiple output (MIMO)
techniques can be used in this situation, to increase the reliability and data rate. In this paper
we discuss how the MIMO channel capacity changes, with the aircraft antenna configuration,
altitude, velocity, range, and a number of other parameters. For comparison, the MIMO results
are compared to systems which have single antennas at the transmitter, at the receiver, or at both
ends.
