Abstract
The capacity of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) wireless channels is computed for Ricean channels. The novelty is a geometrical (ray-tracing) i nterpretation of the MIMO channel capacity formula to find array geometries which greatly enhance channel capacity compared to single input-single out put (SISO) systems.
