	abstract = {A general method to obtain a matrix which allows the compensation of mutual coupling effects in transmitting arrays for the total field in all directions is introduced. This method is independent of the numerical method used in the analysis and it can include the effect of the antenna platform. The starting point can be the active element patterns or the spherical mode expansion from spherical near-field antenna measurements. Additionally, the spherical mode expansion is also used to find a matrix which allows the compensation of mutual coupling effects in receiving arrays. Through this theory, a simple relation between the compensation matrices of the transmitting and the receiving arrays is found. As a consequence, the scattering matrix of a circuit that allows the simultaneous compensation of mutual coupling effects for the transmission and the reception problem can be easily defined. Finally, it will be shown how the capabilities of the compensation in all directions depend strongly on the array element.},

	abstract = {The analysis of MIMO systems is described with the aid of a novel modal network model. For this purpose the capacity performance of typical base station and mobile station antennas in a simulated macro-cellular scenario with varying antenna inter element spacings and antenna rotation will be studied. The model is based on the modal description of typical receiving and transmitting antennas. In this manner a significant simulation time reduction is achieved which allows for faster analysis and optimization. To prove this the effects of both the mobile and base station antennas are investigated. Moreover, for the more restrictive case of base station antennas, a fully modal descriptive model is proven to yield very similar results as those from measured commercial antennas. It is found that the modal approach improves simulation speed without loss of accuracy or generality. Simulations are done for the city of Karlsruhe with a three-dimensional Ray-tracing tool.},
