Abstract

We investigate a MIMO double-scattering model with both local and remote scatterers, aiming to investigate the effect of scatterer density on channel performances, such as capacity, correlation, and the condition number of the channel matrix in flat and frequency-selective fading channels. The investigations are carried out in terms of scatterer density. It is shown that in flat fading channels the scatterer density has a marginal effect on channel performances when the area of the two scatterer zones is fixed, while a significant impact is observed when the area of the scatterer zones is allowed to change. In frequency-selective fading channels, no matter the area of the scatterer zones is fixed or not, scatterer density can affect the channel capacity to a certain degree that depends on the length of the coding block of the transmitted signals.
