Design, characterize, and optimize MIMO antenna systems simulations in GTD projects.

The MIMO feature included in GTD module can be used to design and characterize MIMO antenna systems considering real environments making it easier for engineers to optimize their MIMO designs.

The MIMO feature allows the computation of multiple propagation paths and field levels over a number of receiving antennas due to different order effects configured by the user setting up them in the GUI.

Realistic indoor and outdoor scenarios can be modeled (generated or imported by the user) and simulated considering multiple layers with different material properties for each surface.

The main parameters that are calculated in a MIMO simulation are:

• the ray-tracing diagram,
• the channel capacity in bps/Hz,
• the channel matrix,
• the correlation matrix and
• dynamic results (translation and/or rotation of transmitting or receiving antennas).
