Modelling and Simulation of a Line-of-Sight MIMO Channel in the Presence of Tropospheric Ducting
In this paper we present and evaluate a Parabolic Wave Equation and Numerical Weather Prediction based model of a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) MIMO link used for microwave point-to-point backhaul. The motivation with the model is to enable prediction of the link performance given meteorological data which can be used for microwave link planning purposes. The evaluation of the model is done by using long-term measurement data from a 44 km long LOS MIMO link operating at 6 GHz. We found very good agreement with the model-based simulation results and the measurement data during events with significant ducting in the troposphere.
