Résumé : Cross-polarized antenna systems are used to reduce equipment size in MIMO systems while still achieving low inter-antenna correlation. One fundamental parameter of cross-polarized MIMO systems is the cross-polar discrimination (XPD). This paper proposes a model to determine the XPD as a function of channel condition and under different antenna configurations. The environment is supposed to have a truncated Laplacian Power Angular Spectrum (PAS) that is widely used in standardization bodies. Antenna XPD is shown to be sensitive to different channel conditions, as well as to different receiver orientations. Measurements were conducted at 3.5 GHz to validate the theoretical model. Good agreement is obtained between theoretical XPD and experimental results.
