On the Capacity of Densely Packed Arrays with Mutual Coupling and Correlated Noise

Figure 3

Aperture gain (), mutual coupling gain (), instantaneous capacity (), and mean capacity () versus antenna spacing , for a SIMO system comprising two electrically short receive dipoles. All curves are based on a sample SISO SNR of zero dB. The graphs marked by “□” are produced based on the suboptimal SMF processing with .
