Analysis of MIMO Technics and Adaptive Antennas and Its Performance in 3G-LTE Systems

The goal of this paper is to: identify, assess, analyze and quantify some aspect and parameters of wave propagation, in conjunction with antennas that affect the 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution). Aspects such as propagation environment were networks possibly operate, or characteristics of the antennas that are able to increase the performance of LTE networks using MIMO and Adaptative Antennas. Using simulations in a Spatial Channel Propagation Model (SCM) , the result obtained was a response impulse of the propagation model and the performance metrics, such as capacity and the Bit Error Rate (BER). Why LTE networks provide demand of high data transmission rates and efficiency in the link?.
