Abstract
Compared to classical spatial MIMO wireless systems, cross-polarized MIMO systems are an interesting way to reduce equipment size while still maintaining low inter-antenna correlation. In this paper, the time-variation of the polarization of the received waves is investigated. In this scenario, a theoretical formulation is proposed in order to obtain the parameters of the elliptical polarization, based on the signals received on three perpendicularly polarized antennas. A measurement campaign has been performed in an indoor-to-indoor scenario and at a frequency of 3.6 GHz. Different measurement positions are considered in a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and a Non-Line-of- Sight (NLOS) scenario. Based on these measurements and the proposed theoretical formulation, the timevariation of the parameters describing the polarization ellipse is analyzed and a time-variant statistical model is proposed.
