Empirical results on indoor multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel capacity obtained through the use of planar inverted‐F antennas (PIFA) are presented. An extensive statistical study done at 2.45 GHz reveals how antenna proximity and array configuration affects MIMO capacity. It is concluded that certain linear or square PIFA based arrays allow very compact multi‐antenna arrangements without significant capacity loss. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
