This paper presents a new model for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) outdoor wireless fading channels and their capacity performance. The proposed model is more general and realistic than the usual independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) model, and allows one to investigate the behavior of channel capacity as a function of the scattering radii at transmitter and receiver, distance between the transmit and receive arrays, and antenna beamwidths and spacing. The paper shows how MIMO capacity is governed by spatial fading correlation and the condition number of the channel matrix through specific sets of propagation parameters.
