ABSTRACT
Despite many valuable contributions to the theory and practice of MIMO communication systems from various scientific fields, we want to emphasize the outstanding importance of propagation aspects when dealing with MIMO systems. Radio propagation forms the basis for any radio channel including MIMO systems. On the one hand, popular mathematical models and commonly applied statistical assumptions sometimes turn out to neglect important properties of MIMO radio chan
