Abstract

This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3-D) model for wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V) multipath fading channels that accounts for mutual coupling among both, transmit and receive antenna elements. From the 3-D model, the spatial correlation is derived for a 3-D non-isotropic scattering environment. Finally, this model is used to evaluate the effect of mutual coupling on the antenna element patterns, spatial correlation, and received power of MIMO V-to-V systems in urban environments.
