This paper newly proposes a direct antenna array control approach to reduce channel spatial correlation for multiuser spatial multiplexing. Conventional rectangular arrays can form three dimensional beams and have superior signal separation performance compared to linear arrays. However, when the arrival angles of some signals are close, the signal separation (interference cancellation) performance deteriorates since the projection points onto horizontal/vertical axes of several antenna elements overlap and spatial resolution along each axis is degenerated. The key proposal is to improve signal separation performance by mechanically changing the positional relationship of antenna elements. The proposed scheme can achieve better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance by searching the optimal antenna rotation angle.
