Physical Layer Characterization of Smart-Antenna Equipped Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Nodes in an Urban Environment
Overview Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems, making use of smart antenna arrays at both ends of the communications link, are of increased interest due to their high spectral efficiency and chancel capacity. This paper uses computational electromagnetic modeling techniques to study the capacity of urban battlefield mobile ad-hoc network nodes in which each node is equipped with a smart antenna array. This technique makes use of the Method of Moments (MoM) to consider near-field scattering and mutual coupling effects and Electromagnetic Ray Tracing (ERT) to model far-field propagation in a site-specific environment specified by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model.
