Abstract: The spectral contents inside a mode stirred chamber have been computed by using the FDTD method. They describe the directional dependence of all guided modes supported in the reverberation chamber. Correlation coefficients between spectral fields generated by two transmit antennas have been found for two separation distances and orientations of 2x2 MIMO system. By finding diversity gains of two MIMO channels, Rayleigh and Rician links, the correlation coefficient can be a good parameter to predict the performance of MIMO system.
