This paper presents a physical scattering model that predicts multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel characteristics conforming well to experimental observations in macrocells. Our approach is to start with a given single-input single output-power-delay profile (defined for specific range, bandwidth and antenna parameters) and fit a scattering model that characterizes. the MIMO. channel. From the derived scattering model and antenna array configurations, the MIMO channel is computed using a ray-based method. Simulations of several MIMO channels are shown to exhibit experimentally observed channel correlations, antenna beamwidth effect, range dependency and frequency selectivity.
