Abstract
MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology was found to exploit the channel richness and spatial diversity, its possible to increase data throughput and reduce the error probability [1]. MIMO channel capacity was derived by Teletar in [2], MIMO find its application in many technology such as HSPA and WLAN. Recent research were devoted to applicability of MIMO to satellite communication and for high altitude platforms (HAPs) [3]. Previous works were concentrated on describing the MIMO model [4] by mean of ray tracing. This paper is organized as follow: first, we investigate MIMO-SAT model for clear sky case and presents new method of computation of the covariance matrix in order to determine the inter-antenna spacing for the MIMO-SAT system at ground and in the satellite side by mean of capacity maximization. The second part will be devoted to MIMO-SAT model with atmospheric effect and impairment mitigation using precoding and dual polarization scheme.
