Study of cooperative MIMO method effectiveness for HF communication system

Experimental results are presented, on their basis the HF (high frequency) cooperative MIMO system channel capacity estimation was carried out. MIMO channel modeling results are also presented, they are obtained using correlative, Kronecker, Weichselberger models. Channel capacity was calculated for the following cases: SISO, MIMO 2×2. The calculated characteristics are compared with the corresponding ones obtained from the experimental data. Conclusions about effectiveness of cooperative MIMO method application in HF communication system are made.
