Abstract

The concept of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) has become a productive area of
research in the field of wireless communications with the aim of delivering increased data
throughput. However, to date, MIMO research has focused primarily on short-range
communications within the VHF, UHF, and SHF bands, and very little research has been
conducted toward exploiting MIMO techniques for long-range communications within the
HF band. Between September 2007 and September 2008, several experimental campaigns
were conducted to investigate the feasibility of applying MIMO techniques within the
HF band. The results of measurements over a 255 km path from Durham to Leicester within
the United Kingdom are presented in this paper with particular emphasis on the use of
heterogeneous antenna arrays at the transmitter and receiver.
