Abstract

The paper presents results of pulsed radar signal interference impact on multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink data service analysis. Interference from radar operating in 800 MHz frequency band is studied analytically and experimentally taking into account MIMO capacity performance under external interference, including the influence of radar orientation with respect to LTE receiver antenna.
