On the MIMO channel capacity saturation for spatially constrained receive region

In MIMO wireless communication systems, when more and more antennas are packed into spatially-limited receive region, the antenna saturation phenomenon will appear. Moreover, the electromagnetic interactions among antennas will also become stronger and stronger and affect the antenna saturation effect considerably. Despite this, few studies consider these two effects jointly. The effects of antenna saturation are investigated under the consideration of mutual coupling, thus a more practical and physically meaningful result can be obtained.
